Abstract: Çameli Basin is located on the middle of the Burdur-Fethiye Shear Zone (BFSZ) which is tectonicallya very active region in southwestern Anatolia. This region is one of the locations on BFSZ which hasextensive young sediments.BFSZ is an active shear zone which is located between the eastern Aegean extensional province,the Hellenic Arc and the Isparta Angle. Its length is about 310 km and its average width is 40 km. It ischaracterized by the Middle Miocene-Quaternary aged NE-SW-trending faults and basins. One of theseintermontane basins is the Çameli Basin.Jurassic-Cretaceous aged ophiolites, recrystallized limestones and partly clastic rocks, which areknown as Lycian Nappes, and the Eosen aged turbidites, which cover them unconformably, compose thebasement of the Çameli Basin. The Middle-Lower Miocene aged Gölhisar Formation consists of meanderand braided river deposits that are conglomerate, sandstone, claystone and shalestone and locatedunconformably on this basement. Gölhisar Formation shows lateral and vertical transition to UpperMiocene-Lower Pliocene aged İbecik Formation. İbecik Formation is a lacustrine environment unit thatconsists of clay, sandy limestone, marl, clayey limestone and thick bedded limestones. Upper PlioceneLower Quaternary aged alluvial fan deposits composed of conglomerate, mudstone, silt and clay overlieuncomformably on İbecik Formation. Recent alluvium deposits settled uncomformably on this unit that isnamed the Dirmil Formation.The recent tectonic activity on the region shows that the region is under the influence of NE-SWand almost N-S extension. When considering the fault plane solutions of the earthquakes and small andlarge scale faults, NE-SW-trending left lateral and left lateral oblique normal faults and almost N-Etrending normal faults indicate a typical left lateral shear regime. Also, NE-SW, NW-SE and almost N-Strending left lateral oblique normal and normal faults in the Miocene aged sediments are evidence of theshear and rotation on the region.The evolution of Çameli Basin began with a predominant compressional regime in the EarlyMiocene and proceeded with a left lateral movement in the Middle-Late Miocene. The basin is still situatedwithin a Pliocene-Recent aged left lateral extensional regime.
