Malaiya basin is located in the southern Taurus-Anatolian Platform, which acted as a part of the Mediterranean Province of the Tethyan Realm through Cretaceous time. to the many area, the transgressive unit was started with patch reefs which unconformably overlie ophiolitic basement or directly rest on terrestrial sediments with gradual transition of siliciclastic shore passing upward into siliciclastic-dominated turbidites and followed by perlagic-bearing calciturbidites. The transgressive unit was terminated by a shallow water carbonate deposition composed of generally coral- and loftusia sp.- bearing banks and local cool-bearing coastal swamp. Evaporites were precipitated as last depositional phase of the regressive unit, represented by individual outcrops mining along the northeast margin of he basin. This situation suggests that a sulphate platform was developed from north to south. (87)Sr/(86)Sr isotopic values obtained from evaporates' are consistent with those of seawater values of the Uppermost Cretaceous time. The studied unit consists of a superimposed deposition which is resulted from transgressive and regressive episodes of the Upper Cretaceous sea (Campanian to Maastrichtian). accompanied with regional tectonic and paleoclimatic changes in the cast Anatolian inner basins.
