“…Sea level fluctuation and related sea depth control the transporta tion and deposition of deepsea sediments (BOGGS, 1987;READING, 1991;GÜRBÜZ, 1999;GERVAIS et al, 2004;REI JMER et al, 2008;GÜL et al, 2011GÜL et al, , 2012GÜL et al, , 2015SOYCAN et al, 2009SOYCAN et al, , 2011SOYCAN et al, , 2015. Sea level fluctuations cause destabilization of sediment on the shelf edge and on the continental slope (GÜR BÜZ, 1999;GERVAIS et al, 2004).…”

“…Sediment entry, sediment type and sediment quantity have af fected the deepsea sediment characteristics, including geometry and facies differentiation, such as single or multiplesourced sub marine fans, coarse grainedsand rich turbidite systems and a fine grainedmud rich turbidite system depending on depocenter (RICHARDS et al, 1998;GÜRBÜZ, 1999;BOUMA, 2004;GERVAIS et al, 2004;GARCIACARO et al, 2011;GÜL et al, 2011GÜL et al, , 2012GÜL et al, , 2015.…”

The Lycian Nappes contain slices of ophiolites and sedimentary rocks of various ages that crop out in SW Turkey. They evolved and were emplaced under the effect of the Late Cretaceous-Miocene compressional regime. The Tavas Nappe is part of the Lycian Nappes and contains Jurassic-Eocene sediments. The Babadağ Formation, forming the middle part of the Tavas Nappe, is composed of limestone at the base and various sized calciturbidites with chert intercalations in the upper part. The Standard Microfacies Classification (SMF of FLÜGEL, 2004) indicates that the entire unit was deposited mainly in a deep-shelf environment (Facies Zone-FZ-2), deep-sea (FZ-1), toe of slope (FZ-3) and on the continental slope (FZ-4). Calcite and quartz dominate the bulk mineralogy of the calciturbidites with higher SiO 2 and CaO weight percentages than other major oxides. Additionally, the presence of
