Distribution and origin of clay minerals in Konya Neogene sedimentary basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey

Orta Anadolu'da Konya baseninde geniş bir yayılıma sahip olan Neojen yaşlı çökeller akarsu ve gölsel birimler ile temsil edilirler. Akarsu birimleri havzanın kıyı kesimlerinde kalın ve yeşil renkleri ile tipik olup, yanal yönde havzanın merkezine doğru geçiş gösterirler. Göl sedimanları beyaz, bej, krem renkli, saf, dolomiti!, kumlu ve killi kireçtaşlarından oluşup, kiltaşları ile ardalanırlar. Akarsu ve göl sedimanlarını oluşturan tane bileşenlerin miktarı ile bağlayıcı malzemenin cinsi ve boyutları kıyıdan basen merkezine doğru azalır ve/veya küçülür. Akarsu sedimanlarındaki detritik kökenli simektit ve klorit minerallerine illit, amfibol, kuvars ve feldspat eşlik eder. Buna karşın, havzanın merkezi kesimlerinde karbonat birimlerinde egemen olan sepiyolit ve paligorskit mineralleri ise diyajenetik olarak oluşmuşlardır.

Konya Neojen sedimanter basenindeki kil minerallerinin dağılımı ve kökeni

Neogene sediments having both fluvial and lacustrine characteristics are widespread in the Konya region of central Anatolia. The fluvial units are typically green in colour and thick at the margin of the basin and thinning laterally basinwards. The lacustrine sediments are represented by white, beige and cream, pure, dolomitic, sandy and clayey limestone alternating with claystone. Grain size, components and matrix of the fluvial and lacustrine sediments decrease from the margin of the basin toward its center. Smectite and chlorite in detrital fluvial sediments are associated with amphibole, illite and quartz, while sepiolite and palygorskite formed diagenetically in the carbonate units of the central part of basin.
