The formation consists of alternating green, grey-coloured turbiditic conglomerate, sandstone, shale, claystone and marl. The unit has typical flysch features and has sedimentary structures such as thin/thick bedding, normal graded bedding, erosional surfaces, flute casts, load structures, ball-and-pillow structures, bounce marks, slump structures and numerous biogenic traces. The conglomerates of turbiditic channel fills display clast imbrication and graded bedding. The sandstones of the Dikmendede Formation are mainly made of quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar (orthoclase, microcline, sanidine), sedimentary (carbonate, chert, sandstone, shale), metamorphic (micaschist, quartzschist, calcschist, phyllite, gneiss), volcanic rock clasts, mica (muscovite, biotite), heavy minerals (epidote, opaque minerals, glaucophane, piroksen, rutile, turmaline). The sandstones, texturally and mineralogically immature, are cemented by calcite and iron-oxides, in addition to clayey (illite, smectite, chlorite) and in a lesser amount micritic matrix.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessOrhaniyeDikmendedesandstoneflyschflute castConference Object245250N/AWOS:000307366000033N/A
