Clay mineralogy and paleoclimatic properties of the Neogene Deposits in Sinanpaşa Basin (Afyon-Western Anatolia)
The Sinanpaşa basin, one of the Neogene basins formed in the extensional tectonic regime in Western Anatolia, is located on the eastern margin of Western Anatolia basins containing different types of evaporites, lignite, uranium and clay minerals. Miocene sequence was initiated with alluvial fan- fl...

The Sinanpaşa basin, one of the Neogene basins formed in the extensional tectonic regime in Western Anatolia, is located on the eastern margin of Western Anatolia basins containing different types of evaporites, lignite, uranium and clay minerals. Miocene sequence was initiated with alluvial fan- fluvial units and followed by lacustrine sediments. River floodplains and lakeshore marshes locally contain economic coal levels. Since middle-late Miocene, the products of Afyon volcanism were deposited into a subaerial or a subaqueous environment alternating with lake sediments. Dominant clay minerals are illite and smectite within the sediments coexistence with the volcanics. These minerals were accompanied by chlorite, kaolinite, and zeolite in some samples. Feldspar, dolomite, thenardite, and gypsum are locally observed too. Sepiolite mineral enrichments are also noteworthy in shallow-coastal lacustrine environments where organic matter is abundant. Clay minerals are mostly detritic and developed due to the weathering of volcaniclastics and sedimentary rocks in temperate/humid climatic conditions.
