The Kahtepe Formation begins with dark gray, abundantly fossiliferous, micritic limestone; it continues upwards with medium-thick bedded limestones with fusulinids, pellets, intraclasts, calcite veins, and stylolites. The Kahtepe Formation continues with thin-medium bedded limestone with oolitic packstone-grainstone characteristics. The unit contains an intermediate level consisting of yellow-pink colored, thin-medium bedded shale-quartzite intercalation at the top. On the intermediate level, fusulinid, Ammodiscus, Glomospira, micrite-microsparry, gray colored, thin-medium bedded, coral limestone is overlain and gray colored with gastropod, Mizzia, fusulinid, oncoid, crinoid, quartz fragments, mitrite-microspar continues with thin-medium bedded limestone. Above, it is in the form of gray-colored, thin-medium bedded limestone with bioclast and quartz fragments, intraclast, pellet, Ammodiscus, ostracod, micrite-micro spar, and sparry cement. At the top, the formation is gray-colored, thin-medium bedded limestone containing Mizzia, Ammodiscus, Glomospira, ostracod, quartz, pellet, intraclast, and micrite. At some levels of the Kahtepe Formation, <5% dolomite mineral was also encountered. The mudstone, wackestone, packstone, and grainstone microfacies of the Kahtepe Formation limestones were developed in Wilson’s (1975) seven (Shelf lagoon: open circulation) and eith (Shelf and tidal plains: limited circulation) carbonate belt environments.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHadimKahtepeLimestoneLithofaciesMicrofaciesConference Object
