Abstract
THE hilly region of Carmel, in north-west Israel, comprises an uplifted Cretaceous block with an ill defined anticlinal pattern. The exposed sedimentary column is built chiefly of dolomites, limestones and chalks with interbedded pyroclastics ranging in age from Albian to Senonian, and is 1,000 m thick. This essentially limey sedimentary sequence was deposited in broad epicontinental seas which were favourable to the development of neritic carbonate. Previous geological investigations in the Carmel region recorded several stratigraphically separated, lens-like basic alkaline tuff layers, conformable with the normal marine Cretaceous strata.
