A sedimentary unit, described in the literature as Alakırçay unit (Marcoux, 1977), Kumluca
Zone (Robertson and Woodcock, 1981), Kumluca complex (Yılmaz, 1981) and Alakırçay group (Şenel
et al., 1981) is exposed in a N-S trending area of 30 km x 4 km at SW of Antalya and N
of Kumluca. The unit consists of sandstone with plant fragments, conglomerate, siltstone, claystone,
limestone with Halobia and chert nodules and bedded cherts, and is of Triassic age according
to Marcoux (1977), but a Ladinian-Norian age is given to it by Şenel et al. (1981).
