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 xenolithic enclaves are observed at the contact of granitoids with the metamorphic basement and/or ophiolitic rocks in Ortakoy (Akdagmadeni), Murmano and Akcakent plutons, and also in the southern part of the Agacoren Intrusive Suite. Based on their texture and mineral composition, these enclaves are identified as amphibolite, calc-schist and hornfels. The magma segregation enclaves, which are observed in almost all of the Central Anatolian granitoids, are monomineralic in composition and consist of accumulations of mafic minerals. They are small in size and best observed under the microscope. The magma mixing/mingling enclaves are the most abundant enclave type in Central Anatolian granitoids. They are microgranular in texture and rich in mafic minerals (mafic microgranular enclaves), and have characteristic petrographic features such as blade-shaped biotite, quartz ocelli, poikilitic ferdspar and acicular apatite.

Implications of Jurassic chert identified in the Tokat Complex, northern Turkey
Bozkurt, Erdin; Kocyigit, A (1997-01-01)
The Tokat Complex is a strongly deformed tectono-sedimentary mixture of low-grade metamorphic rocks with abundant recrystallized limestone and relatively rare serpentinite and radiolarian chert in blocks of variable size. Samples from the radiolarian chert blocks, found in highly crushed zones, each of which corresponds to a thrust sheet within an imbricate thrust zone, have yielded a Tithonian fossil assemblage. They are interpreted as tectonic inclusions emplaced within the Tokat Complex after its main po...
Timing of post-collisional H-type to A-type granitic magmatism: U-Pb titanite ages from the Alpine central Anatolian granitoids (Turkey)
Koksal, S; Romer, RL; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Toksoy Köksal, Fatma (2004-12-01)
The last stages of the continental collision during the closure of the Neotethyan ocean in central Anatolia are characterized by post-collisional H- and A-type granitoids intruding both the metamorphic country rocks and allochthonous ophiolitic rocks of the central Anatolian crystalline complex. Available Rb - Sr and K - Ar whole-rock and mineral age data on the Hand A-type granitoids in central Anatolia are inconsistent. To better constrain the geological relevance and the timing of the change in the chemi...
GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANITOIDS ALONG THE WESTERN MARGIN OF THE CENTRAL ANATOLIAN CRYSTALLINE COMPLEX AND THEIR TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS
AKIMAN, O; ERLER, A; GONCUOGLU, MC; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; GEVEN, A; TURELI, TK; KADIOGLU, YK (1993-12-01)
The closely related assemblage of igneous and metamorphic rocks that lie within a triangular area approximately bounded by the Tuzgolu Fault, the Ecemis Fault and the Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture and between the lines connecting Ankara, Sivas and Nigde is called the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC). The granitoids cropping out within the CACC can be divided areally into three groups: (1) a large number of individual small plutons which form an arcuate set and curve from NE-SW to NW-SE and extend...
GEOLOGY AND CHEMICAL VARIATIONS IN TOURMALINE FROM THE QUARTZ-TOURMALINE BRECCIAS WITHIN THE KERKENEZ GRANITE-MONZONITE MASSIF, CENTRAL ANATOLIAN CRYSTALLINE COMPLEX, TURKEY
Demirel, Serhat; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Topuz, Gueltekin; IŞIK, VEYSEL (2009-08-01)
A hydrothermal breccia zone 6 km long and 2 km wide, crossed by quartz-tourmaline veins, occurs to the south of the Late Cretaceous Kerkenez granite-monzonite massif in the northern part of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex, Yozgat, Turkey. This breccia zone is characterized by numerous veins, a few millimeters to 1 meter in width, and display typical microtectonic features of multiple brecciation. Trace amounts of albite, K-feldspar, epidote, muscovite and rutile are associated with quartz and tour...
New zircon U-Pb LA-ICP-MS ages and Hf isotope data from the Central Pontides (Turkey): Geological and geodynamic constraints
ÇİMEN, OKAY; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Simonetti, Antonio; Sayıt, Kaan (2018-05-01)
The Central Pontides in northern Anatolia is located on the accretionary complex formed by the closure of Neotethyan Intra-Pontide Ocean between the southern Eurasian margin (Istanbul-Zonguldak Terrane) and the Cimmerian Sakarya Composite Terrane. Among other components of the oceanic lithosphere, it comprises not yet well-dated felsic igneous rocks formed in arc-basin as well as continent margin settings. In-situ U-Pb age results for zircons from the arc-basin system (tiangaldag Metamorphic Complex) and th...
