In the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) the Late Cretaceous post-collisional granitic magmatism is followed by Eocene extension, resulting in formation of roughly E-W trending transtensional basins. Formation of these basins was accompanied by calc- alkaline- mildly alkaline volcanism. The volcanic rocks, mainly subaques lava flows and subareal domes are concentrated along these basins and associated with Middle Eocene (Bartonian) Mucur Formation. They are basic to intermediate and are classified as basalt, basaltic andesite and rarely alkali basalt and trachy-andesite. All studied samples are strongly and variably LREE enriched relative to chondrite with the (La/Sm)N ratio of 2.26- to 6.17. They have negative Nb-Ta and Ti anomalies in the primitive mantle normalized diagram, and are characterized by low Nb/La (0.21 to 0.62), Ce/Pb (3.70-34.90) and Nb/U ratios (1.11-30), which may indicate an interaction with the Late Cretaceous granitic host rocks in the course of their ascent. The volcanic rocks display similar but variable ranges of Sr, Nd and Pb isotope values. Relatively high values of εNd (0.53 to 4.33) indicate an isotopically depleted mantle source. Combined trace element and isotope compositions of the Eocene samples suggest that they were derived from a heterogeneous lithospheric mantle source that had been metasomatized by subduction related agents such as fluids and/or melts during a previous geodynamic event. Geochemistry and geotectonic setting point out that lithospheric delamination was the most likely mechanism to generate these calc-alkaline to mildly alkaline volcanic rocks in the CACC.

Eocene post collisional volcanism in the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex Turkey Petrology and geodynamic significance Geneli, Fatma; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Lassıter, J; Toksoy Köksal, Fatma (null; 2010-09-04) In the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) the Late Cretaceous postcollisional granitic magmatism is followed by Eocene extension, resulting in formation of roughly E-W trending transtensional basins. The volcanic rocks, mainly submarine lava flows and subareal domes are concentrated along these Middle Eocene (Bartonian) basins. The volcanic rocks are basic to intermediate and are classified as basalt, basaltic andesite and rarely alkali basalt and trachy-andesite. Petrographically they are general...
Tertiary volcanism of the Galatia province, north-west central Anatolia, Turkey Wilson, M; Tankut, A; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan (1997-12-01) Large volumes of trachyandesitic-dacitic lava flows and pyroclastics of Miocene age are associated with small volumes of alkali basalt lava flows in the Galatia volcanic province, northwest Central Anatolia, Turkey. The volcanism postdates continental collision, occurring in a transtensional tectonic setting associated with movement along the North Anatolian Fault zone. Major and trace element (including REE) and Sr-Nd isotope data and K-Ar ages for representative samples of mafic-intermediate volcanic rock...
Late Cretaceous extensional denudation along a marble detachment fault zone in the Kirsehir massif near Kaman, central Turkey Lefebvre, Come; Barnhoorn, Auke; van Hinsbergen, Douwe J. J.; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Vissers, Reinoud L. M. (2011-08-01) In the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC), 100 km scale metamorphic domains were exhumed in a context of north-south plate convergence during late Cretaceous to Cenozoic times. The timing, kinematics and mechanisms of exhumation have been the focus of previous studies in the southern Nigde Massif. In this study, we investigate the unexplored northern area regarding the tectonic features preserved on the edges of the Kirsehir Massif, based on detailed field-mapping in the Kaman area where high-grad...
Petrology of the Kurancali phlogopitic metagabbro an Island arc type ophiolitic sliver in the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex Toksoy Köksal, Fatma; Yalınız, Mustafa Kenan (2002-06-01) In the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC), besides the ophiolitic bodies with more or less recognisable sequence and preserved magmatic pseudostratigraphy, there are many massive and layered gabbroic masses occurring as isolated outcrops. Most of these mafic rocks were interpreted as dismembered parts of an allochthonous ophiolitic assemblage (Yaliniz et al, 2000), derived from the northerly located Izmir-Ankara branch of the Alpine Neotethys. An overall supra-subduction zone genesis has been envi...
Petrological reconstruction of Triassic seamounts/oceanic islands within the Palaeotethys: Geochemical implications from the Karakaya subduction/accretion Complex, Northern Turkey Sayıt, Kaan; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2010-10-01) Subduction/accretion complexes provide unique insight into the tectonic assembly of continental margins and oceanic basins, as they record the tectonic stacking and juxtaposition of materials derived from distinct tectonic environments. The Karakaya Complex, exposed throughout northern Turkey, is a good example of an ancient subduction/accretion complex that includes a number of pre-Liassic units that characterize the closure of Palaeotethys. Defining the components of this complex is of crucial importance ...
