Detailed stratigraphic studies on the Middle-Upper Permian rocks of the Tahtalidag nappe (Antalya Nappes), largely exposed along the Guzelsu Corridor in central Taurides, have revealed the presence of basaltic volcanic rocks intercalated within the shallow-marine fossiliferous carbonate successions. Vitrophyric basaltic extrusions producing distinct pillows in the Kizilbag Formation severely dolomitized the associated carbonate rocks. The coeval Cukurkoy Formation, devoid of volcanic layers, is also exposed in the same corridor and was probably representing a part of the carbonate platform bordering this volcanic activity. The Middle-Upper Permian successions of the Kizilbag and Cukurkoy Formations have been calibrated based on a foraminiferal zonation and a Capitanian age has been assigned to the basaltic interval. Basalts are also chronostratigraphically located just below a horizon interpreted as the mid-Capitanian mass extinction event. Based on these data, two fundamental conclusions can be driven from this study. The discovery of basaltic volcanism brings a strong evidence for a much longer history about the rift-associated volcanic events in the Antalya Nappes. The Capitanian volcanic rocks are contemporaneous with the Emeishan Large Igneous Province in South China which is linked to the mid-Capitanian mass extinction event.

High-altitude Plio-Quaternary fluvial deposits and their implication on the tilt of a horst, western Anatolia, Turkey
Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Rojay, B (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-01)
This study investigates the origin and regional tectonic implications of high-altitude Plio (?)-Quaternary fluvial deposits developed over the Bozdak horst which is an important structural element within the horst-graben system of western Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 23 deposits occur near the modem drainage divide comprising fluvial to occasionally lacustrine deposits. The deposits are all elongated in N-S direction with a width/length ratio of 1/10. The largest of them is of 13 km in length with a maximum...
A new intracontinental transcurrent structure: the Central Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey
Kocyigit, A; Beyhan, A (Elsevier BV, 1998-01-30)
Recent neotectonic studies, including remote-sensing, aerial photographs, geological field mapping on various scales and measured stratigraphic section substantiate the existence of a large sinistral intracontinental transcurrent structure, which we call the Central Anatolian Fault Zone (CAFZ). This is an approximately 730-km-long, 2-km- to 80-km-wide, NE-trending, active sinistral strike-slip fault zone that cuts across the Anatolian plateau between Duzyayla in the northeast and Anamur County in the southw...
Zircon ages from the Beypazari granitoid pluton (north central Turkey): tectonic implications
Speciale, Pamela A.; Catlos, Elizabeth J.; Yildiz, G. Okan; Shin, Timothy A.; Black, Karen N. (Informa UK Limited, 2012-09-01)
The Beypazari granitoid is emplaced in a Late Cretaceous volcanic arc in north central Turkey and provides evidence for processes that occurred during the closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean. Zircons from its northern granodiorite and quartz monzonite exposure are dated in rock thin section and display characteristic igneous zoning in cathodoluminescence (CL). Its oldest Late Cretaceous ages (95.4 +/- 4.2-91.3 +/- 6.5 Ma, U-238/Pb-206, +/- 1 sigma) time early crystallization from rising melts, but inspection of...
The relationship between Kestel Polje system and the Antalya Tufa Plateau: Their morphotectonic evolution in Isparta Angle, Antalya-Turkey
DOĞAN, UĞUR; Kocyigit, Ali; Yeilyurt, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)
This paper focuses on the relation between two significant geomorphic features of the western Taurides: the Antalya Tufa Plateau and the structural Kestel polje system; revealing morphotectonic records of the formation and evolution of karst hydrology between the two features. Data were obtained by detailed mapping of faults, rocks, and geomorphic features. The evolutionary history of the area begins with a nearly E-W-trending drainage system which flowed on the erosional surfaces formed during late Langhia...
Pattern of normal faulting in the Gediz Graben, SW Turkey
Ciftci, N. Bozkurt; Bozkurt, Erdin (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-20)
Hanging-wall deformation of the fault systems controlling the southern margin of the Gediz Graben were investigated separately within the Plio-Quaternary and Neogene (predominantly Miocene) deposits of the graben fill. Fault styles observed in both packages share many similarities in terms of geometry and comprise conjugate fault sets that show clustering of strike orientations predominantly around WNW-ESE but also SW-NE and NW-SE directions. The main difference between the two units is observable in terms ...
