In this investigation, Both Karaburun beachrocks laying on the coast of the Black Sea near Istanbul and Ulubat beachrocks laying along the coast of Uluabat Lake in Bursa have been documented using GPS for coordinate taking of the beachrock locations, clinimeter for the survey of the slope of beachrock layers, pH meter for survey of pH levels in water, acids (HCl and HNO3) for analysis of cement properties and Geographical Information System Technologies for maps. Both beachrock formations have been studied for the type of grain as petrographical aspects, grain size, cementation of beachrocks, geomorphological features and structure of its and mechanism of its development.
