The purpose of this study is to investigate the origin, source characteristics, evolution petrogenesis and emplacement mechanisms of Beypazari-Oymaagaç granitoids. These granitoids are intruded into a metamorphic basement and nonconformably overlain by Neogene clastic rocks. Field work, petrographical and geochemical studies are carried out to determine the petrologic features and tectonic setting of the granitoid body. The Beypazari-Oymaagaç pluton is a composite pluton with its host batholith, enclaves, aplite dykes and a pegmatite. The batholith is generally composed of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase and hornblende. Field observations and petrographic investigations indicate that the host batholith has granodiorite composition and shows distinct differences in the abundances of quartz, amphibole minerals (e.g., hornblende) and of enclaves. The samples taken from Tavuktasi Tepe contain relatively less amphibole and enclaves but more quartz. Compared with them, samples from the rest of the batholith have relatively abundant amphibole, K-feldspar megacrysts, and enclaves but less quartz. Enclaves derived from magma mixing/mingling processes are dioritic in composition. Geochemical data obtained from whole rock analyses show that the pluton is shallowly emplaced and has calc-alkaline, metaluminous to peraluminous chemistry. It is characterized by enrichments in LIL and LREE, especially in K, Rb and Th. Although, there is a distinct petrographic variation in the batholith, the geochemical characteristics are uniform throughout the pluton. The Oymaagaç Granitoids which have I-type identity are typical representatives of magmatic arc environment. The present study suggests that the possible source of magma is the upper crust and can be compared with the coeval volcanism in Galatean Volcanic Arc.

Meter scale cycles in the eocene Çayraz Formation (Haymana Basin) and response of foraminifers to cyclicity Erbaş (Geyikçioğlu), Bedia; Altıner, Demir; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The aim of this study is to investigate the nature of the meter-scale cycles in the Çayraz Formation of the Middle Eocene age and to study the response of foraminifera to the sedimentary cyclicity. In order to perform this study, two stratigraphic sections, which are 44,55 m and 25,95 m in thickness, were measured on a regularly bedded succession mainly composed of carbonates and siliciclastics in the Çayraz Formation of the Haymana Basin. In this study, detailed microfacies analyses were carried out in the...
Morphological analyses in Hattusha (Boğazkale-Turkey) Dündar, Pınar; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geological Engineering (2009) The purpose of this study is to investigate the morphological properties of the ancient city Hattusha and its surroundings. To achieve this, the analyses are conducted on the digital topographical maps at 1/25000 and 1/1000 scales. Results of the analyses reveal that Hattusha is located over a north facing surface with slope values of 6 to 15 degrees within an elevation range of 1000 to 1250 m. All main building complexes are confined to a narrow slope interval of 2 to 15 degrees. Five regions are detected ...
Geoarchaeological investigations in Zeugma, Turkey Karaca, Ceren; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The purpose of this study is to investigate the geological and morphological features around ancient city of Zeugma. To achieve this, a geological map of Zeugma excavation site is prepared; an aerial photographic survey and morphological analyses are conducted on a broader area. Additionally, the biggest ancient quarry in the study area is investigated. In the close vicinity of Zeugma, four lithologies which are, from bottom to top, clayey limestone, thick bedded limestone, chalky limestone and cherty limes...
Fairy chimney development in cappadocian ignimbrites (Central Anatolia, Turkey) Sayın, M. Naci; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The purpose of this study is to evaluate systematic fairy chimney development within Cappadocian ignimbrites. The first step in the sudy is to identify fairy chimney producing ignimbrites. Accordingly the fairy chimneys are formed within Kavak ignimbrite, at Kavak-Zelve transition, and within Zelve and Cemilköy ignimbrites. Field measurements are taken from the fairy chimneys to quantify the shape and the size. Slope of the selected areas are identified to investigate the most suitable topography. Analysis ...
Mineralogical and geochemical properties of messinian gypsum occurence in Polatlı Sazılar region, Ankara Çakmak, Hayriye; Köksal, Fatma; Department of Geological Engineering (2008) The objective of this study is to understand the petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of Messinian (Upper Miocene) gypsum occurence in Polatlı Sazılar region, Ankara and to determine the impurities associated with gypsum. Moreover, it is aimed to interpret the usability of this raw material with impurities in plaster and plasterboard production based on industrial standards. Based on petrographical study, the first variety of gypsum which have different physical properties is white ...
