Rock samples from the Baglum-Kosrelik area, 30 km north of Ankara, Turkey have been studied petrographically in detail to differentiate between nodular limestones and hardgrounds. However, it is found that petrographic criteria alone may not always be used to differentiate between nodular limestones and true hardgrounds. Distinction between hardgrounds and other well indurated carbonate rocks can be made based upon the strength properties of the rocks, including uniaxial compressive strengths, triaxial compressive strengths, modulus ratios, and elastic constant ratios. This study showed that rock petrophysical characteristics could be used, to develop criteria for distinguishing hardgrounds. For example, strength tests using the International Society for Rock Mechanics result in very high strength and extreme. hardness values, with a minimum uniaxial compressive strength value of 130 MPa with 10, % standard deviation, therefore the rock can be classified as "true" hardground. Classification of these carbonates in this I manner would facilitate quantitative discussions between hardground carbonate petrographers and engineering geologists. Hardgrounds throughout the world then could be tested and classified accordingly.

Analysis of the North Anatolian Shear Zone in Central Pontides (northern Turkey): Insight for geometries and kinematics of deformation structures in a transpressional zone Ellero, Alessandro; Ottria, Giuseppe; Marroni, Michele; Pandolfi, Luca; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2015-03-01) The western part of the North Anatolian Shear Zone at the southern boundary of the Central Pontides in Turkey, was investigated in the Kursunlu-Arac area by means of a geological-structural field study. In this area the North Anatolian Shear Zone results in a transpressional deformation zone that extends between two master faults striking parallel to the main shear direction. The main systems of structures identified in the deformation zone appear to be oriented parallel to the directions predicted by Riede...
Modeling of a historical earthquake in Erzincan, Turkey (Ms similar to 7.8, in 1939) using regional seismological information obtained from a recent event Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2018-06-01) Located within a basin structure, at the conjunction of North East Anatolian, North Anatolian and Ovacik Faults, Erzincan city center (Turkey) is one of the most hazardous regions in the world. Combination of the seismotectonic and geological settings of the region has resulted in series of significant seismic activities including the 1939 (Ms similar to 7.8) as well as the 1992 (Mw = 6.6) earthquakes. The devastative 1939 earthquake occurred in the pre-instrumental era in the region with no available local...
Types and genesis of the enclaves in Central Anatolian granitoids Kadioglu, Yk; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan (1999-07-01) Central Anatolian granitoids range from tonalite-monzonite, through granodiorite, to alkali feldspar granite in composition, and typically have angular to oval-shaped mafic magmatic and metamorphic enclaves. These enclaves range from millimetres up to metres in size. The mineral compositions, textural features and amphibole chemistry reveal that the enclaves can be genetically differentiated into three types as xenolithic enclaves, magma segregation enclaves and magma mixing/mingling enclaves. The xenolithi...
Evolution of an early Eocene pull-apart basin in the Central Pontides (Northern Turkey): New insights into the origin of the North Anatolian Shear Zone Ottria, Giuseppe; Pandolfi, Luca; Catanzariti, Rita; Da Prato, Simone; Ellero, Alessandro; Frassi, Chiara; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Marroni, Michele; Ruffini, Leonardo; Sayıt, Kaan (2017-12-01) Although the North Anatolian Shear Zone is one of the main lithospheric-scale strike-slip deformation zone in the world, playing a prominent role in the complex geodynamic interaction among the Eurasian, Anatolian and Arabian plates, the onset time of its activity remains highly controversial. Here, we tackle this issue by utilizing nannofossil biostratigraphy on deposits from the Tacilar basin, a pull-apart basin that we have identified inside the North Anatolian Shear Zone overprinting the Intra-Pontide s...
The Jurassic-Early Cretaceous basalt-chert association in the ophiolites of the Ankara Melange, east of Ankara, Turkey: age and geochemistry Bortolotti, Valerio; Chiari, Marco; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Principi, Gianfranco; Saccani, Emilio; TEKİN, UĞUR KAĞAN; Tassinari, Renzo (2018-02-01) This study is focused on slide blocks including oceanic lavas associated with pelagic sediments within the eastern part of the Ankara Melange. A detailed petrological characterization of the volcanic rocks and a detailed biochronological investigation of the associated radiolarian cherts in eight sections (east of Ankara) was carried out. The volcanic rocks are largely represented by basalts and minor ferrobasalts and trachytes. They show different geochemical affinities and overlapping ages including: (a) ...
