Study area, the Eskipazar Basin, is located in the western part of the North Anatolian Fault System. It is a 3-5 km wide, 10 km long and NWSE trending depression, bounded by a complex array of oblique-slip normal faults and strike-slip faults. The Eskipazar Basin is interpreted to be a superimposed basin. The basin fill is composed of two different units deposited under the control of different tectonic regimes, namely the paleotectonic and the neotectonic regimes. The latest paleotectonic fill of the basin is the fluvio-lacustrine deposits of the paleotectonic Eskipazar formation. This formation is unconformably overlain by a group of neotectonic units namely, the Budaklar, the Karkin and the Imanlar formations. The unconformity in between these paleotectonic and neotectonic units represents the time interval during which the paleotectonic period comes to end and the neotectonic period started. Thus, onset age of the strike-slip neotectonic regime in the study area is Late Pliocene (~2.6 My). Common basin margin-bounding faults of the Eskipazar Basin are the Kadilar fault set, the Beytarla Fault Zone, the Budaklar fault set, the Arslanlar fault set, the Dibek fault, the Karkin fault, the Boztepe fault and the Acisu fault. These faults display well preserved fault scarps, in places. Morphological expressions of these faults and their geometrical relationships to regional stress system indicate that these faults are mostlystrike-slip faults with normal component. However the Kadilar fault set displays a different characteristic, being the major fault controlling the basin to the west and it is indeed an oblique slip normal fault. Long term seismicity and their epicentral distribution in and very close to the study area suggest that the Eskipazar basin is located in an area of seismic quiescence, nevertheless the morphotectonic expressions of the faults exposing in the

Neotectonics and evolution of the yeniçağ basın, Bolu-Turkey Arca, M Serkan; Koçyiğit, Ali; Department of Geological Engineering (2004) Study area, the Yeniçaga Basin, is located in the western part of the North Anatolian Fault System. It is a 1-5-km-wide and 14-km-long WSWENE- trending depression bounded by a complex array of strike-slip faults. The Yeniçaga Basin is interpreted to be a fault ا wedge basin with the North Anatolian Fault̕s System Master Strand, namely the Gerede Fault, cutting across the basin itself. The basin and its surroundings contain mainly two groups of rock units namely the paleotectonic units and the neotectonic un...
Neotectonics and seismicity of the Ankara region : a case study in the Uruş area Kaplan, Tülin; Koçyiğit, Ali; Department of Geological Engineering (2004) Study area, the Urus province, is located 70 km WNW of city of Ankara. Major settlements in the study area are two counties, Urus and Güdül; and there are a number of villages, such as, from W to E, Macun, Yogunpelit, Kabaca, Üregil, Özköy, Tahtaciörencik, Kirkkavak, Kavaközü, Kayi and Karacaören. The study area is 189 km2 in size and included in 1/25000-scaled topographic quadrangles of H28a3, a4, d1 and d2. The Güdül- Urus section of the Çeltikçi morphotectonic depression (Çeltikçi Basin) drained by the A...
Post miocene deformation of the area between Alibey (Kızılcahamam) and Karalar (Kazan) villages, nw Ankara (Turkey) Karaca, Aykut; Rojay, Fuat Bora; Department of Geological Engineering (2004) The study area is located within the Neogene-Quaternary sequences on top of the Mesozoic accreted mass at the northwest of Kazan (40 km NW of Ankara) between Karalar and Alibey villages. The research deals with the post-Miocene deformational history of an area situated at the southern edge of Galatian Volcanic Province. Two main Neogene rock sequences are cropped out; 1) Late Miocene Pazar Formation, 2) Plio-Quaternary Sinap Formation. The Pazar Formation has a succession composed mainly of clastics at the ...
Neotectonics of Altıntaş (Araban, Gaziantep) basin, SE Turkey Çiçek, Aydın; Koçyiğit, Ali; Department of Geological Engineering (2016) Altıntaş basin is an approximately 6-9 km wide, 50 km long and E-Wtrending depression located in the northwestern margin of the Arabian Plate. The Study area is bounded by the Kırkpınar fault zone to the west, by the Güllüce Fault Zone to the north, by the Bağlıca, Akdurak, Erenbağ and Fıstıklıdağ Fault Sets to the northeast, by the Kemerli Fault set to the east and Karasu Fold Set to the south. Altıntaş Basin comprises two distinct basin fills separated by a clear angular unconformity. (1) Middle Eocene-Pl...
3D modeling of salt related structures in the friesland platform the Netherlands Yücel, Kıvanç; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Department of Geological Engineering (2010) Southern North Sea Basin is one of the mature hydrocarbon basins in NW Europe and is shaped by a number of phases of tectonic deformations during the Phanerozoic. In addition, mobilization and halokinesis of thick Permian Zechstein Salt has enhanced and contributed to the deformation of the region since Triassic, which further complicated the geology of the region. The Friesland Platform, which is a stable platform area located in northern Netherlands, experienced the main deformation phases that Europe has...
