The study area consists of Jurassic– Cretaceous ophiolitic melange, Late Triassic-Early Jurassic recrystallized limestone, Late Miocene – Early Pliocene marl and clayed limestone and Late Pliocene – Early Pleistocene alluvial fan deposit. The study area covers the NE section of the Fethiye Burdur Fault Zone (FBFZ). The FBFZ, which caused many earthquakes in historical and instrumental periods, is represented by NE-SW trending Burdur, Karakent, Karacaören faults and NW-SE trending Karaçal fault. In addition there are many small scale faults in the area. In order to determine the tectonic activity of the region, some geomorphological indices such as Mountain-Front Sinuosity (Smf), Ratio of Valley-Floor Width to Valley Height (Vf), Normalized Stream Length – Gradient Index (SLK), Asymmetry Factor (AF), Topographic Symmetry Factor (T), and Index of ...

The high-grade metamorphic rocks of massif are cut by the Cretaceous Üçkapılı granodiorite. These basement rocks were overlain by the cover rocks of Paleocene-Eocene age that display very low grade metamorphism. The Paleocene-Eocene cover units underwent at least three phases of deformation, as designated D1, D2- and D3 which D1- affected both the basement and cover, polyphase folding and low-grade metamorphism due to closing of the Ulukısla basin. The poly-phase deformation also resulted in the wide spread development extensional vein sets generally in mesoscopic scale. Most of the veins are filled with the fibrous minerals. The fibrous veins are mostly sintaxial, antitaxial and ataxial veins. The mineral fibres have curved shape indicating the rotational progressive deformations. Structural analysis of mineral fibres, shows that the maximum elongation direction (X- axis...

Bu birimler içinde araseviyeler şeklinde 1cm – 2m kalınlığında ve yanal olarak onlarca metre uzanım sunan grafit bantları gözlenir. Grafitler siyah renkli olup, iyi klivajlanmışlardır ve klivaj düzlemleri yan kayaçlardaki bölgesel klivajlanmaya paraleldir. Bunun yanı sıra, medisedimanter kayaçlar içinde klivaj düzlemlerine paralel olarak yönlenmiş kristal ve pulsu şekilli grafitler de bulunur. Yöredeki metamorfik kayaçlarda gözlenen makaslama ve granülasyon grafit oluşumu için yapısal kontrol oluşturur ve bu olaylar grafitler ile metasedimanterler arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koyar. İnceleme alanındaki grafit mineralleşmesi tabakalanma, mikrokırıklar ve granülasyon ile kontrol edilir. Kısaca, sedimanter kayaçlar içindeki karbonlu maddeler, metamorfizma sonucu grafite dönüşmüştür.

NNE-SSW trending Yazır fault cuts the Miocene-Pleistocene aged lacustrine rocks and Quaternary alluvial deposits of Konya basin. In the quarries opened between the Parsana and Yazır districts, the fault brought the lacustrine and Quaternary alluvial deposits side by side. Due to faulting, the lacustrine rocks were moved upwards relative to the alluvial deposits. The Yazır and Çiftlikbaşı faults formed a small triangular shaped graben structure in the area. Between the Parsana and Yazır districts, the fault surface is nearly vertical, and has NNE-SSW orientatiton. Although the slickenlines indicate that the fault has a small right hand strike slip movement, the fault mainly is a high angle east dipping normal fault. Surface data demonstrates that, due to this faulting, at least 25-30...

The fault zone includes subparallel branching faults that lie within a linear belt, as much as 5 km in width. Study of exposures in a road-cut across the fault zone demonstrates recurrent Quaternary faulting. Three events have been identified but not yet dated. Evidence of prehistoric events includes development of cracks and veins in the sedimentary units, faults that are covered by sediments that accumulated after the faults slipped and sedimentary units and their faulted relationship. The area where the fault is exposed is characterized by a unique set of stratigrafic and geomorphic relationships that may document the late Pleistocene and Holocene movement of the Konya fault zone.

Graphite layers are 1cm to 2m thick, extend laterally for tens of metersand are intercalated with metasedimentary rocks. Generally, the graphite is black in color, with a well developedcleavage which is concordant with the cleavage of the host rocks. In addition, the crystal and flake graphitesformed in metasedimentary rocks are mostly aligned parallel to the cleavage planes. These metamorphic rocksare subjected to shearing and granulation providing structural control for the development of graphite. It wasprobably this phenomenon that first led to emphasize the relationship between graphite and metasedimentaryrocks. Graphite mineralization has been controlled by bedding, microfractures and granulations. Briefly, themetamorphism has converted carbonaceous matter into graphite .
