Depositional properties and geochemistry of Holocene perched springline tufa deposits and associated spring waters: a case study from the Denizli Province, Western Turkey - Tufas and Speleothems: Unravelling the Microbial and Physical Controls - page 243

Fig. 2. Panaromic view (a) and drawing interpretation (b) of the G¨ ney perched springline tufa site. The late
Miocene lacustrine sediments rest unconformably on the bedrock composed of schist and marble belong to Menderes
massif of Palaeozoic age around Cindere village.

Methods map was prepared (Fig. 1c). Some physicochemical

analyses and measurements of the waters were
carried out at several points during midday along
the flow paths in order to monitor the seasonal vari-
ations at physical and chemical parameters.
Temperature and pH values were measured
using a HACH Sension 2 pH meter at the time of
sampling.

Fieldwork

The G¨ney tufa site was visited seasonally from July
2003 to December 2005. During the early stages of
the study, geological and depositional features of
the tufa site were investigated and a local geological

Electrical conductivity was measured
