Abstract : Geochemical signatures could be used to reconstruct paleoenvironmental controls on paleosols and terrestrial sediments of the Ovalibağ locality in the Çiftlik Basin. In this article,the distribution of the chemical(major and trace elements) and mineralogical composition concentrations. This study helps us to understand the source area, weathering mechanism, abundance, concentration provenance and the economic concentrations of minerals whether hydrothermal or surficial (Low temperature geochemistry), provenance, tectonic settings, reservoir characteristics and in this case, climate variations and how they are distributed. As a result of geochemical measurement, each profile shows a unique change, such as the increase- decrease in the vertical distribution of main and trace element contents. In the same profiles, as molecular weathering index values such as ∑bases/Al, clayeynes, salinization, calcification, provenance, redox conditions, weathering (CIA-K), leaching, immobilization and precipitation were calculated, the outcome helps us to understand how these terrestrial sediments were formed.The thickness, color and material differences between the different sedimentary levels in the region reveals that regional changes have an effect on the formation of sedimentation and erosion, while the amount of fogging or Fe movement also shows that there are climate changes.

Keywords : Geochemical, Trace Elements, Major Elements, Provenance, Ovalibağ, Climate Variation.
