The Marziyan granitoid is part of the widespread granitoid bodies in the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. It intruded Mesozoic regional metamorphic rocks of this belt and is composed of leucogranite and subordinate granite. The mineralogy of the granitoid is dominated by quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite, muscovite, garnet, tourmaline and accessory apatite, zircon and ilmenite. The peraluminous nature of these rocks is manifested by high molar A/CNK ratio (>1.1), and the presence of garnet and minor sillimanite. Strong enrichment in alkalies and depletion in high field strength elements as well as high initial Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios (>0.71) and low initial epsilon Nd(t) values (-0.8 to 3.7) suggest that the melt was derived from a metapelitic source. Part of the heat required for the formation of the Marziyan granitic magma was supplied by shear heating imposed by regional tectonic forces. The granitoids exhibit a high-K and calc-alkaline nature and show features typical of syn-collisional magmatic intrusions. Based on geological, mineralogical and geochemical data, we suggest that magma intrusion took place at mid to upper crustal levels possibly under vapour-absent conditions during the collision of the Afro-Arabian continental plate with the Central Iranian microplate.

Assessment of slope stability and monitoring of a landslide in the Koyulhisar settlement area (Sivas, Turkey)
Topal, Tamer (2015-09-01)
The Koyulhisar settlement area is located in the seismically active zone of Kelkit valley. The settlement area has been adversely affected by active landslides as a result of which some of the houses have been evacuated. In this study, areas within the Koyulhisar settlement area where the landslides exist were delineated with a field mapping technique, and active landslides were investigated by means of field observations, drilling, sampling, field and laboratory testing, and in situ monitoring using an inc...
LATE CRETACEOUS ARC AND BACK-ARC FORMATION WITHIN THE SOUTHERN NEOTETHYS: WHOLE-ROCK, TRACE ELEMENT AND Sr-Nd-Pb ISOTOPIC DATA FROM BASALTIC ROCKS OF THE YUKSEKOVA COMPLEX (MALATYA- ELAZIG, SE TURKEY)
Ural, Melek; ARSLAN, MEHMET; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; TEKİN, UĞUR KAĞAN; KÜRÜM, SEVCAN (2015-06-01)
The remnants of the Southern Neotethys are represented by ophiolitic bodies and subduction/accretion complexes along the Southeast Anatolian-Zagros suture belt in the Eastern Mediterranean. Around Malatya and Elazig areas (SE Turkey), they are found within imbricated slices of a melange complex, known as the Yuksekova Complex. The studied basaltic rocks are common members of this melange complex, and show distinctive features of sources with tholeiitic to tholeiitic-transitional character. Petrography, whol...
GEOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF THE LATE MAASTRICHTIAN SUBDUCTION-RELATED VOLCANISM IN THE SOUTHERN NEOTETHYS IN VAN AREA, AND A CORRELATION ACROSS THE TURKISH-IRANIAN BORDER
Colakoglu, Ali Riza; Gunay, Kurtulus; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Oyan, Vural; Erdogan, Kemal (2014-12-01)
The Yuksekova melange to the NE of Van, close to the Turkish-Iranian border is part of the Berit-Elazig-Van ophiolitic belt. It structurally overlies the Bitlis-Puturge metamorphic complex and includes the remnants of the southern Neotethys. The melange complex comprises mantle rocks together with massive and pillowed lavas and dykes associated with late Maastrichtian micritic limestones and radiolarian cherts. The lavas are trachyandesite/basaltic, whereas the dykes are alkali basalt in composition. Both r...
Re evaluation of the petrological features of the Ekecikdag oceanic plagiogranites in Central Anatolia Turkey
Köksal, Serhat; Köksal, Fatma (2010-11-02)
Remnants of the Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan branch of the Alpine Neotethys are represented by dismembered ophiolitic units in the Ekecikdag area (central Anatolia/Turkey). In the Ekecikdag and nearby areas, the ophiolitic rocks thrust over the central Anatolian metamorphic basement and intruded by the Late Cretaceous granitoids. Among these ophiolitic rocks plagiogranites are significant for the petrological evaluation of the oceanic history. The available data and interpretations on the Ekecikdag plagiogranites ...
Structure and geochemistry of an Alaskan-type ultramafic-mafic complex in the Eastern Pontides, NE Turkey
Eyuboglu, Yener; Dilek, Yildirim; Bozkurt, Erdin; Bektas, Osman; Rojay, Fuat Bora; ŞEN, CÜNEYT (2010-07-01)
The Karayasmak ultramafic-mafic association (KUMA) in NE Turkey represents an Alaskan-type, pre-Liassic intrusion in the Pulur metamorphic massif and is one of many such intrusive complexes that were emplaced into the continental basement of the Eastern Pontides belt during the pre-Liassic. Its main lithological units include plagioclase peridotite, melagabbronorite, banded gabbro and anorthosite (Phase-I), gabbro-pegmatite dikes (Phase-II), unmetamorphosed banded gabbro (Phase-III), cumulate olivine gabbro...
