Outcrops of the Late Ordovician glacio-marine deposits in Tauride Anatolide Platform contain rare rounded/sub-rounded glacially transported granitic pebbles. Recently determined crystallization ages of the granitic fragments by LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating fall in two groups, 575 to 600 Ma and 700 to 965 Ma. Crystallization ages are in the range of juvenile magmatic rocks in the Arabian Nubian Shield except one sample implying pre-0.87 Ga magmatic activity. All dated granitic pebbles geochemically show arc-related compositions and juvenile isotopic systematics (whole rock epsilon Nd-(T), Pb-Pb and zircon epsilon Hf-(T) isotopic data). Marginal arc type sources fit well with the geochemical and isotopic data of the granitic pebbles of 700 and 800 Ma that have juvenile Hf-T-DM and older Nd-T-CR modal ages. However, A-type affinity of three samples, ranging from 575 to 600 Ma show that they might have been derived from mixing of juvenile mantle and older crustal sources having older Hf-T-DM and Nd-T-CR modal ages. A 965 Ma granitic fragment has the oldest Hf-T-DM and Nd-T-CR model age(s) implying involvement of pre-Neoproterozoic crustal source(s) in its genesis. These results collectively suggest that the glacio-marine successions in the Tauride Anatolide Platform were eroded from Neoproterozoic granitic/meta-granitic/meta-granodioritic rocks in the northern Nubian Shield (Egypt) and were then transported to the Tauride-Anatolide Platform by the glacial sheets during Late Ordovician time.

Sub-ophiolite metamorphic rocks from NW Anatolia, Turkey Onen, AP; Hall, R (Wiley, 2000-09-01) The metamorphic rocks from near Kutahya in north-west Anatolia record different stages in the history of closure of the Neo-Tethyan Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan ocean. Sub-ophiolite metamorphic rocks within the Tavsanli zone are a tectonically composite sequence of quartz-mica schists, amphibole schists, amphibolites and garnet amphibolites. They show increasing metamorphic grade towards the base of the ophiolite. A first metamorphic event, typical of sub-ophiolite metamorphic sole rocks, was characterized by high...
Trace metal levels in fish and crustacea from Northeastern Mediterranean coastal waters Balkas, Turgut I; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Salihoǧlu, Ǐlkay (Elsevier BV, 1982-06-01) Some fish and crustacea caught near the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey between 1977 and 1980 have been analysed by the AAS technique for their H Hg, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Ni, Cr and Mn contents. In the crustacea Portunus pelagicus (crab) and Penaeus keratherus (shrimp), the two essential elements Zn and Cu, showed a linear correlation. Among the bony fish, Upeneus moluccensis (gold band goat fish), a member of the Mullidae family, and Portunus pelagicus showed a much greater tendency to accumulate...
Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry U-Pb Dating of Detrital and Magmatic Zircons of Glacial Diamictites and Pebbles in Late Ordovician Sediments of the Taurides and Southeast Anatolian Autochthon Belt, Turkey: Indications for Their Arabian-Nubian Provenance GÜRSU, SEMİH; Moller, Andreas; Usta, Dogan; Köksal, Serhat; Ates, Serafettin; Sunkari, Emmanuel D.; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2017-03-01) Late Ordovician (Hirnantian) glacio-marine deposits in the Central and Eastern Taurides and Southeast Anatolian Autochthon Belt (SAAB) in Turkey are mainly composed of diamictites, subrounded granitic pebbles, and rounded/subrounded lonestone pebbles. The granitic pebbles are dated as 576.5 +/- 3.3, 576.7 +/- 5.7, 598.4 +/- 7.5, 717.5 +/- 8.0, 789.5 +/- 3.7, and 964.6 +/- 4.6 Ma. The geochemical signatures and dated granitic pebbles in the Central and Eastern Taurides are interpreted to have been derived fr...
Pb and Hf isotope variations along the Southeast Indian Ridge and the dynamic distribution of MORB source domains in the upper mantle Hanan, Barry B.; Blichert-Toft, Janne; Hemond, Christophe; Sayıt, Kaan; Agranier, Arnaud; Graham, David W.; Albarede, Francis (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01) Lead and Hf isotope data for a suite of closely spaced (5-10 km) basalt glasses, sampled over a distance of similar to 1140 km along the Southeast Indian Ridge (SEIR) between 88 degrees E and 100 degrees E, confirm the presence of ancient heterogeneous mantle beneath the Indian Ocean. The Pb isotopes show a non-Gaussian, "fat tail" distribution that is bimodal. The paired Hf and Pb isotope data, combined with previously published data, define two populations that reveal the presence of compositional streaks...
Cenomanian-Turonian drowning of the Arabian Carbonate Platform, the Inisdere section, Adiyaman, SE Turkey Mulayim, O.; Yilmaz, O. I.; Sari, B.; Tasli, K.; Wagreich, M. (Geological Society of London, 2020-01-01) The Cenomanian-Turonian carbonate ramp in the Adiyaman Region of SE Turkey (Northern Arabian Platform) records an abrupt shift from benthic carbonate deposits to pelagic deposits near the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event (CTBE) in the Inisdere stratigraphic section and surrounding borehole sections. A positive delta C-13 excursion of up to 2.15% is recorded in carbonate and organic carbon deposited around the CTBE and provides evidence of a direct link between the CTBE and oceanic anoxic events and the de...
