Abstract

The sedimentological properties and tectono-sedimentary evolution of Pliocene and Quaternary continental deposits which is located at 65km’s northeastern of Denizli, constitute the subject of this study. These sediments were disconformably overlie on Oligocene molasse deposits located on the north of Acıgöl graben. These terrrestrial sediments deposited during the Pliyo-Quaternary period consist of brownish, claret coloured, coarse detrital conglomerates, sandstones and mudstones intercalated of aluvial fan deposits, yellowish brown coloured pebbly sandstones, claystones-siltstones with slump structures of deltaic deposits and whitish grey coloured clayey limestones, marls and travertines of lacustrine deposits. In this study, 8 lithofacies units have been described and interpreted. Maymundağı fault “Çardak fault” which is NE-SW trending fault in the south of the study area presents vertical displacement and this fault is one of the significant structural components representing Neotectonic period of the SW Anatolia. The white, massive and compact, locally cracked and fractured travertines were precipitated depending on the thermal water which is up to the surface from syntetic and antitetic faults of the Maymundağı fault. Moreover, the young faults occurring parallel to main fault which bounded graben cut off ancient Quaternary alluvial fan and lateral and vertical developing of the new fans controlled by them till nowadays.

Özet

Denizli’nin 65 km kuzeydoğusundaki Pliyosen ve Kuvaterner yaşlı karasal çökellerin sedimantolojik özellikleri ve bu çökellerin tektono-sedimanter gelişimi bu çalışmanın ana konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma alanında yüzlek veren bu tortullar, Acıgöl Grabeni’nin kuzeyinde Oligosen yaşlı molas karakterindeki kaba kırıntılı tortulları uyumsuz bir şekilde üzerlemektedir. Pliyo-Kuvaterner yaşlı bu karasal sedimanlar, kahverengimsi kırmızı renkli, kaba kırıntılı çakıltaşı, kumtaşı ve çamurtaşı ara katkılarından oluşan alüvyal yelpaze çökelleri, sarımsı kahverenkli çakıllı kumtaşı ve su altı kayma-oturma yapılarının belirgin olarak gözlendiği kilttaşı-silttaşından oluşan delta çökelleri ve beyazımsı gri renkli killi kireçtaşları, marn ve travertenlerden oluşan gölsel çökellerden oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 8 litofasiyes birimi tanımlanmıştır. Çalışma alanının güney kesiminde Acıgöl grabeni’ni sınırlayan KD-GB gidişli düşey atımlı Maymundağı Fayı “Çardak Fayı”, GB- Anadolu’daki Neotektonik dönemi yansıtan en belirgin yapısal unsurlardan biridir. Bu ana faya paralel sintetik ve antitetik faylar sonucu yüzeye ulaşan termal sular, beyaz, masif ve sıkı dokulu, yer yer kırıklı ve çatlaklı traverten oluşumuna neden olmuştur. Ayrıca, bölgede en genç çökeller olarak yüzlek veren alüvyal yelpazelerin yanal ve düşey yöndeki gelişimi, grabeni sınırlayan genç faylar tarafından günümüze dek denetlenmektedir.
