Abstract
Tertiary Cankiri – Corum Basin is one of the biggest basin covering evaporitic formationsin the Central Anatolia. During borehole drills carried out in Bozkir Formation whichcontain Pliocene aged evaporites in the basin, a thick rocksalt (halite, NaCl) deposit wasdetected that consisting of glauberite (Na2Ca(SO4)2) interlayers (sabhka) synchronouswith sedimentation. Rocksalt bearing layers in Bozkir formation which was deposited inplaya-lake – sabhka environment, where seasonal changes are effective, were first definedas Tuz member in this study. Bozkir formation was divided into three zones in drillingscarried out in sabhka – playa -lake transitional environment. From bottom to top, these areordered as claystone-less anhydrite zone, rock salt-claystone-anhydrite-glauberite zone(Tuz member) and claystone-gypsum-less anhydrite zone. Rocksalt was cut in thicknessesreaching 115 meters within Tuz member. Rocksalt (playa-lake) which is mostly bedded andwhite, pale/dark gray colored is conformable with sedimentation and is low dipping. The1. Girifl
