Abstract

In the present work, a stratigraphic framework of the early Miocene units of the Kale-Tavas and
Acıpayam deposits is proposed. Two stratigraphic sections from the brackish-marine deposits of
Aquitanian (Yenidere formation) and three sections from the shallow marine units of late Burdigalian
(Kale formation) age have been logged. In total 23 mollusc species are identifi ed similar to
those of the areas in the Mediterranean province. The fauna indicates that the Mediterranean Tethys
occupied the southwestern part of the Denizli region only during the early Miocene. A tectonic pulse
in the basin during the early Miocene may have been very important to understand the limits of
marine Tethyan infl uence in the area.
