dc.description.abstractBackshore sediment samples from 22 beaches along the Antalya and Finike Gulfs have been studied for their grain size, chemical and heavy mineral composition. Data presented here suggest that well- to moderately-sorted (0.41 Phi-0.92 Phi) medium sand (1 Phi-2 Phi) represents dominant mean grain size in most beaches. In contrast, some beaches from the western part of the Gulf of Antalya (Goynuk, Kemer-Kiris and Beldibi) are composed of pebble- to boulder-size grained beaches which are located close to mouths of short and steep-gradient ephemeral rivers entering the sea from the Western Taurus Mountains. The heavy mineral assemblages are dominated by detrital opaque minerals (14-58% magnetite, chromite, and hematite), pyroxene (8-65% augite), amphibole (3-15% tremolite and actinolite), epidote (3-25%), garnet (2-9% pyrope and almandine) and micas (3-20 biotite, muscovite and chlorite). The very high concentrations of heavy minerals (up to 86% of bulk sediment) together with the significant concentrations of some elements found in beach sediments from the Gulf of Finike and western Gulf of Antalya (Fe: 18.40%; Cr: 10.00%; and Ti: 1.32%) are indicative of ultramafic origin, mainly derived from the ophiolitic rocks of the Antalya-Tekirova nappe on coastal hinterland.
