Marine Lower-Upper Miocene deposits uplifted to > 2 km elevation in the Tauride mountains of southern Turkey are taken as evidence for the rise of a nascent plateau. The dynamic causes of this uplift are debated, but generally thought to be a regional dynamic topographic effect of slab motions or slab break-off. Immediately adjacent to the high Tauride mountains lie the Central Tauride Intramontane Basins, which consist of Miocene and younger fluvio-lacustrine basins, at much lower elevations than the highly uplifted marine Miocene rocks. These basins include the previously analyzed Altinapa and Yalvac basins, as well as the until now undescribed rigin Basin.

Age and paleoenvironmental reconstruction of partially remagnetized lacustrine sedimentary rocks (Oligocene Aktoprak basin, central Anatolia, Turkey)
Meijers, Maud M; Strauss, Becky E.; ÖZKAPTAN, MURAT; Feinberg, JM; Mulch, Andreas; Whitney, Donna; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin (2016-03-01)
The age and paleoenvironmental record of lacustrine deposits in the Aktoprak basin of south-central Turkey provides information about the evolution of topography, including the timing of development of an orographic rain shadow caused by uplift of the mountain ranges fringing the Central Anatolian Plateau. New magnetostratigraphy-based age estimates, in combination with existing biostratigraphic ages, suggest that the partially remagnetized Kurtulmu Tepe section of the basin is Chattian (Upper Oligocene).

Plio-Quaternary extensional tectonics of the Central Anatolian Plateau: a case study from the Tuz Golu Basin, Turkey
ÖZSAYIN, ERMAN; Ciner, T. Attila; Rojay, Fuat Bora; DİRİK, RAMAZAN KADİR; Melnick, Daniel; Fernandez-Blanco, David; Bertotti, Giovanni; Schildgen, Taylor F.; Garcin, Yannick; Strecker, Manfred R.; Sudo, Masafumi (2013-01-01)
The Tuz Golu Basin is the largest sedimentary depression located at the center of the Central Anatolian Plateau, an extensive, low-relief region with elevations of ca. 1 km located between the Pontide and Tauride mountains. Presently, the basin morphology and sedimentation processes are mainly controlled by the extensional Tuz Golu Fault Zone in the east and the transtensional Inonu-Eskisehir Fault System in the west. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the Plio-Quaternary def...
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...
Tectono-Sedimentary evolution and geochronology of the Middle Miocene Altinapa Basin, and implications for the Late Cenozoic uplift history of the Taurides, southern Turkey
KOÇ, AYTEN; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; van Hinsbergen, Douwe J. J.; Kuiper, Klaudia F.; Vissers, Reinoud L. M. (2012-04-06)
The Tauride range in southern Turkey is flanked and overlain by Neogene sedimentary basins. To the south and on top of the high range, these basins are mainly marine, whereas poorly studied intramontane basins dominated by continental deposits are exposed to the north. In this paper, we study the stratigraphy and structure of the continental Altinapa Basin, and provide Ar-40/Ar-39 geochronology for volcanic deposits in the stratigraphy. The stratigraphy can be subdivided into a Lower Group, displaying simil...
Tectonic history of basins sited along the western section of the North Anatolian Fault System, Turkey
SARP, Gülcan; Gurboga, Sule; Toprak, Vedat; Duzgun, Sebnem (2014-01-01)
Geological and geomorphological features of basins along the western half of the North Anatolian Fault System (NAFS) are used to constrain the formation of these basins by localization of deformation and the total displacement, and to determine the timing of basin development. In this study, tectonic influence direction of the NAFS on tectonic and hydrologic basins Bolu, Yenicaga, Dortdivan, Cerkes, Ilgaz and Tosya has been investigated to deduce information about the formation stages and interaction betwee...
