Abstract
Two of the major pre-Jurassic units of northwest Turkey consist of blocky sedimentary rocks (Diskaya formation in this report) and low-grade metamorphic rocks (glaucophanitic) greenschist facies. In the study area, the Diskaya formation is divisible into laterally continuous stratigraphic units of olistostromes and shale-lithic sandstone sequences. The complex internal structure, characterized by large sandstone pseudo-boudins, is the product of soft-sediment deformation. The field data is not directly indicative of an accretionary wedge origin for the pre-Jurassic blocky sedimentary rocks (the Diskaya formation) which is suggested in all recent tectonic syntheses. -from Authors
