“…Reef development under similar depositional settings have also been reported from Adana Basin, Turkey (Gül 2007), Manavgat Basin, Turkey (Karabıyıkoglu et al 2000), Almeria Spain (Riding et al 1991), etc. Rising sea level was a controlling factor for reef development in the study area, which can also be observed in several other sedimentary basins of southern Turkey (Karabıyıkoglu et al 2005;Gül 2007). A combination of sea-level changes and antecedent topography are considered to be responsible for geographic distribution of reefs in the Mut Basin (Bassant et al 2005).…”

The Neogene Osmaniye-Bahçe sub-basin and neighbouring sub-basins of the same age (İskenderun-Arsus-İA, Hatay-Samandag-HS) are located near the triple junction of the Anatolian, African and Arabian plates in the easternmost part of the Mediterranean region, (Bay of İskenderun, southeastern Turkey). These sub-basins are surrounded by the Misis Uplift to the west, the Taurus Mountains to the north, the Amanos Uplift to the east and the Karataş-Osmaniye Fault, a segment of the East Anatolian Strike-Slip Fault, to the southwest. Strike-slip tectonics strongly affected Neogene and pre-Neogene sediments of the area. The first marine transgression took place in the Middle Miocene that resulted in the deposition of patch reefs with minor siliciclastic input in the local lagoons and shoals. Shallow shelf areas over the topographic highs provided suitable hard substratum for the colonization by corals and other reef builders. The patch reefs, i.e., the Horu Formation, mainly comprise reef cores and flanks. The reef cores are lenticular, massive bodies characterized by corals in in situ growth positions that are of thin to thick branching, massive domal and platy morphologies, while reef flanks and peri-reefal areas are mainly composed of reworked coral blocks and bedded biogenic limestones. In the early Late Miocene, the reefs prograded across the shelf margin due to sea level rise and then were gradually replaced by deltaic sediments (Kızıldere Formation). The early phase of deltaic deposition is represented by vertical and lateral transitions with lagoon-estuary sedimentary systems and small-scale Ostrea reefs associated with carbonate and siliciclastic interbeds. The most important controlling factors for the sedimentation in these sub-basins were antecedent topography, clastic input, sea level changes and syn-sedimentary tectonics.

The imprint of the past upon contemporary landscape forms and processes is differentiated in terms of geologic, climatic and anthropogenic memory. Geologic memory refers to controls exerted upon relief, erodibility, erosivity and accommodation space (areas in landscapes where sediments are stored and reworked). These factors set the imposed boundary conditions within which contemporary landscape‐forming processes operate. Climatic memory refers to the influence of past climatic conditions upon contemporary landscape forms and processes. Climatic controls exert a primary influence upon the nature of geomorphic processes, while the influence of climate upon ground cover affects the effectiveness of these processes. Climate change may induce profound alterations to the flux boundary conditions under which contemporary landscapes operate. This is exemplified by the variable imprint of glacial/interglacial cycles in differing parts of the world. Anthropogenic memory refers to the imprint of past human activities on contemporary landscapes, whereby human disturbance in the past altered landscape forms, processes and associated flow/sediment fluxes in a manner that continues to affect the way the contemporary landscape works. Contrasting examples from a tectonically stable landscape (Australia) and a tectonically uplifting landscape (New Zealand) are used to highlight the variable influence of geologic, climatic and anthropogenic memory upon the persistence and erasure of landscape forms and resulting implications for sediment flux in differing settings.

“…The dominantly marine basins are located mainly in the southern limb of the belt and include the well-described Adana, Mut and Antalya (including the Manavgat, Köprüçay and Aksu) basins (e.g. Çiner et al, 2008;Darbas and Nazik, 2010;Derman and Gürbüz, 2007;Eriş et al, 2005;Gül, 2007;Janson et al, 2010;Karabıyıkoğlu et al, 2005;Poisson et al, 2003;Yetiş, 1988). A diachronous marine transgression flooded the southern part of the belt in Cyprus from the late Oligocene onward, and reached the Antalya, Mut and Adana regions in the north during the Early Miocene .…”
