 | Name BURDUR BROWN MARBLE
Location : BURDUR-YESiLOVA/GENCALi
AND YARISLI VILLAGES LITHOLOGICAL AND GEOLOGICAL
CHARACTERISTICS Mesozoic aged Burdur Brown is a
brown limestone with calcite veins.
Triassic aged limestones are found at
the base. Upper Cretaceous aged
ophyolitic melange is overlying it with
tectonic contacts. In general; this
marble is made up of calcite minerals of
sizes varying between 1 micron and 4
microns. Sparicalcite with grain sizes
50‑300 microns has been observed in
veins, fractures and voids. GEOLOGICAL RESERVES : 40.000.000 m3 CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
