Özet

The basement rocks located in the central part of the southern edge of the Kucuk Menderes Graben, around Akcasehir-Tire are composed of marbles, schists, gneisses and metagabbros of the Odemis-Kiraz submassif of the Menderes Massif, and schists, marbles and meta-olistostromes of the Cycladic Complex. The basement is unconformably overlain by Neogene-Quaternary continental sediments. These continental basin fills are comprised of the Ayaklikiri Formation, the Aydogdu Formation and alluvium that unconformably overlies them. The Lower-Upper Miocene Ayaklikiri Formation consists of lacustrine and fluvial deposits. The Plio-Pleistocene (?) Aydogdu Formation is made up of alluvial fan deposits. Vast plains of alluvium cover the youngest formations.
