Özet

The early Miocene sedimentary succession in the northeast-southwest trending Gordes basin is 1000 m thick and divided into the Dagdere, Tepekoy and Kuslukkoy formations. The age of this fill can be constrained as between 24.2 Ma and 16.3 Ma, at its widest interval. Paleoccurrent directions from south to north demonstrate that the basin had a north dipping basin floor. These observations are inconsistent with a previous model of the Gordes basin as a cross graben with a south dipping basin floor, towards the Alasehir graben, and an anomalously thick (up to 3000 m) basin filling.
