Located near Üzengili Village within the borders of Doğubayazıt and resembling the shape of a ship, this geological formation was noticed by a shepherd in 1948. Officially entering the literature in 1959, this area took the name Durupınar Formation with its 164-meter-high structure consisting of limon.
Academic Cooperation and Field Studies
A comprehensive project was launched with a protocol signed between Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University and Istanbul Technical University in December 2022. The established expert team joined forces with the Noah's Ark Scans project consisting of U.S. researchers to conduct large-scale field studies in the region.
Laboratory Analyses and Findings
