The lithologies of the Topraklı Formation are composed of red, brown colored conglomerate and mudstone and to a lesser extent sandstone. Matrix-supported conglomerates (Lithofacies 1), which form the dominant lithology of the formation, are reddish gray in color and mostly muddy and lesser sandy matrix. Lithofacies 1 is inverse graded, poorly sorted, fine to coarse-grained, with a maximum grain size of 80 cm. The pebbles of the polygenic conglomerate are composed of limestone, metasandstone, chert pebbles derived from the basement rock, and stromatolitic limestone, limestone, dacite, andesite pebbles derived from Neogene-aged units. Grain-supported conglomerate (Lithofacies 2), which forms the less diffused lithology of the Topraklı Formation, is gray in color and graded normally. Lithofacies 2 presents an imbricated structure and planar cross-bedding at some levels. The pebbles of the polygenic conglomerate are composed of limestone, radiolarite, chert pebbles derived from the basement rock, and stromatolitic limestone, limestone, dacite, and andesite pebbles derived from Neogene-aged units. The bedded conglomerates (Lithofacies 3), which form the other less extensive lithology of the Topraklı Formation, are red, gray-colored, and medium-thick bedded. It should be inversely graded at some levels and normal at some levels and has a brecciated structure. The pebbles of the polygenic unit are composed of limestone, radiolarite, chert, metasandstone pebbles derived from the basement rock, and stromatolitic limestone, limestone, dacite, andesite pebbles derived from Neogene-aged units. Lithofacies 3 is mostly matrix and grain supported at some levels. The mudstones (Lithofacies 4), which form another dominant lithology of the Topraklı Formation, are red, and brown in color, and medium-to-very thickly bedded. Lithofacies 4 includes a channel fill of 8-10 m in thickness, with an eroded base, consisting entirely of volcanic rock pebbles. These mudstones, tens of meters thick, contain caliche nodules at some levels and alternate with matrix-supported conglomerates. The Topraklı Formation was deposited in an alluvial fan and braided stream environment according to its lithological and sedimentological characteristics.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKonyaLithofaciesSedimentaryTopraklıVolcanic GravelConference Object
