Abstract :In this study, calcareous soils on formed two different river terrace were investigated. For this purposes four different se-ries were defined and sampled for phsyical, chemical and mineralogical analyses. Series were classified in orders of Inceptisol according to results of analyses and morphological structure. Series of Konuklar and Sarıtaş were classified in sub-group as Typic Calcixerept, series of Dingil and Karatepe were classified in sub-group as Typic Haploxerept. Research results show that, the parent material, topography and time have different affect on investigation soils.
