Volcanites of the Bodrak - Karadag series (late Bajocian) are exposed, represented by the interbedding of tuffaceous sandstones and siltstones, tuffites, bomb-lapilli or ash-sand tuffs, and tephroids, with either flows of pillow and ball lavas of fine-porphyritic basalts, or amygdaloidal porphyritic basaltic andesites. The thickness of the volcanogenic rock mass is about 250 m. It is overlain by lower Cretaceous organogenic limestones.
