Abstract
The Plio-Quaternary forms a thick, relatively undisturbed wedge, which shows east and south directed onlap over the northwestern flank of the Kızıldağ-Hatay ophiolitic basement high and the southeastern flank of the Misis fold-thrust belt. We infer that the Iskenderun Basin was primarily a Miocene intramontane depression that was passively filled during the Plio-Quaternary by predominantly deltaic sedimentation, with extensional faults providing minor accommodation space.
