GEOLOGICAL HERITAGE AND FRAMEWORK LIST OF THE GEOSITES IN TURKEY
Journal Title: Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration - Year 2015, Vol 151, Issue
Abstract
Geosites and the special type of geosite called geological heritage are tangible materials such as rocks, fossils, minerals, sedimentary sequences, or structures about which there are results and/or documents of significant events in the geological history. A Framework List deciphers the geological events of the past without mentioning the localities or results. Ideally, there is only one Framework List for every country. The Framework List for Turkey proposed by this study includes 85 titles (frame) in 10 categories. The Stratigraphic and Volcanic-Metamorphic-Sedimentary Petrology categories are the richest for the Frameworks; however they two already contain the majority of the geosites in the JEMIRKO inventory, which contains a total of 815 geosites.
