Özet

The eastern end of the Sivas Basin, just west of Erzincan, is known as the Kemah Basin. The lithostratigraphy of the Kemah Basin thus corresponds with the general characteristics described for the Sivas Basin: the upper stratigraphic sequence begins with the Kemah Limestones of Burdigalian age. Above these, the sediments (grey limy marls, sandstones and conglomerates) are not yet dated, but probably span Late Miocene to Plio-Quaternary times. The lower sequence is made of (Late Oligocene?) non-fossiliferous, mainly continental deposits (variegated clays, silts and gypsum at the base; conglomerates, sandstones and some volcanics in the footwall of the limestones).
