Abstract: Lower Carboniferous sequence of Nohutluk Tepe in the Aladağ region of Taurus Mountains consists of "deep-water" (basinal-lower slope) facies in the lower parts and "shallow-water" (shelf edge) facies in the upper parts.Basinal-lowerslope facies is generally represented by silicified limestones. These rocks have turbiditic origin. They showlamination and fine grading; they contain radiolaria and other planktonic fossils with transported echinoderm fragments. Associatedrocks are shale, radiolaria bearing lime mudstones, limestone with volcanic grains and altered tuffs.Shelf-edge facies is represented by skeletal and oolitic limestones. There are quartzite and quartz sandstone interbeds withlimestones. Previous studies in the Taurus Mountains have indicated the presence of Lower Canboniferous sequence of shallow waterfacies in a near shore environment. It is the first time that this study distinguished the presence of deep-water facies in the LowerCarboniferous sequence of Nohutluk Tepe in the Aladağ region.
