Stratigraphy of the Northern Portion of Akseki and Üzümdere (Antalya) Vicinity

Abstract: In this study the stratigraphy of the northern portion of Akseki region (Middle Taurus, Antalya), and itsdepositional environments is described. The units in the study area is divided in two tectonics slices and named as Akseki and Akdağ - Yelekdağ tectonic units. The Akseki units are represented by neritic facies during Jurassic (Dogger) -Middle Eocene time, and pelagic to hemi - pelagic during Eocene (Lutetian) time. In contrast, Akdağ - Yelekdağ unitsare represented by neritic facies until late Cretaceous (Maestrichtian), and hemipelagic to pelagic until Eocene (Lutetian) time.
