Özet

Tectonostratigraphic study of the sandstones of the Hamitabat Group (Yenikoy and Deoirmencik Formations) of the NW Thrace Basin is described based on petrological Studies of samples from six boreholes. Detrital modes determined by the Dickinson point-count method for the sandstones of Hamitabat Group are as follows: % Q(t)FL(t) = 46-35-20: %Q(m)FL(t) = 47-35-19; %Q(p)L(v)L(s) = 57-12-26 (for the sandstones of the Deoirmencik Formation), and Q(t)FL(t) = 60-18-23; % Q(m)FL(t) = 59-18-25; % Q(p)L(v)L(s) = 62-13-24 (for the sandstones of the Yenikoy Formation). No significant compositional, diagenetic differences exist among the sandstones of Hamitabat Group counted.
