The Burdur Basin is a late Miocene to Pliocene fluvio-lacustrine basin in SW Anatolia. It is developed within the postulated Fethiye-Burdur Fault Zone, which was argued to be a sinistral strike-slip fault zone developed in response to propagation of the Pliny-Strabo STEP fault into SW Anatolia (Turkey). In order to assess the presence and tectonic characteristics of the fault zone, we conducted a paleomagnetic study in the Burdur basin that involved rock magnetic experiments, Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) measurements and developing a magnetostratigraphy for dating purposes. The obtained age model constrains most part of the tectonic evolution of the basin. The well exposed (similar to 270 m thick) Burdur section revealed 3 normal and 2 reverse polarity magnetozones. We propose that the Burdur Formation spans most of the Gauss Chron (similar to 3.4-2.5 Ma) which implies a sedimentation rate of > 18 cm/kyr. The AMS results in the section indicate NW-SE directed extension.

Age and Chemistry of Miocene Volcanic. Rocks from the Kiraz Basin of the Kucuk Menderes Graben: Its Significance for the Extensional Tectonics of Southwestern Anatolia, Turkey'
Bozkurt, Erdin; Ruffet, Gilles; Rojay, Bora (Informa UK Limited, 2008-09-01)
Neogene volcanic rocks and granitoid plutons are among the most important geological components of western Turkey. Although they are voluminous north of the Gediz Graben, they are very scarce to the south, where volcanic rocks occur as isolated small exposures in a small number of localities. The Kiraz Basin of the Kucuk Menderes Graben is a key locality, in which Tertiary volcanic rocks crop out at three locations. These rocks have been chemically analysed and dated ((39)Ar-(40)Ar whole rock and biotite an...
Slab fragmentation beneath the Aegean/Anatolia transition zone: Insights from the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of the Eastern Aegean region
Roche, V; Jolivet, L.; Papanikolaou, D.; Bozkurt, Erdin; Menant, A.; Rimmele, G. (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-05)
Slab tearing below western Turkey had first-order tectonic and magmatic consequences by inducing a lateral gradient of extension in the upper plate and toroidal flow of asthenosphere that affected the typology and distribution of melts at the surface. But the coupling mechanisms between the 3D mantle flow at depth and deformation in the upper plate above a slab tear have received little attention so far. This paper is focused on the description of the distribution and kinematics of deformation in the easter...
Origin of NE-trending basins in western Turkey
Bozkurt, Erdin (Elsevier BV, 2003-03-01)
The origin of NE-trending basins and their relation to the E-W-trending grabens in western Turkey have been the subject of long lasting debate. The stratigraphical and structural aspects of the basin fill in the E-W Gediz Graben and in the NE-trending Gordes, Demirci, Selendi and Usak-Gure basins located immediately to the north of the graben are reassessed here. The Gediz Graben is characterized by two contrasting sedimentary packages that are separated by an angular unconformity. These are: (1) a folded M...
Discovery of Middle Permian volcanism in the Antalya Nappes, southern Turkey: tectonic significance and global meaning
Sahin, Nazif; Altıner, Demir; Ercengiz, M. Bulent (Informa UK Limited, 2012-09-01)
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...
Proterozoic ophiolites and mafic-ultramafic complexes marginal to the Istanbul Block: An exotic terrane of Avalonian affinity in NW Turkey
Bozkurt, Erdin; YİĞİTBAŞ, ERDİNÇ; Ottley, Christopher J. (Elsevier BV, 2008-12-01)
Among the Proterozoic inliers in the Istanbul Block, the lowest structural levels are exposed in the Sunnice Massif, north of Bolu. Amphibolite-facies mafic and subordinate ultramafic rocks of the Cele meta-ophiolite underlie the greenschist-facies Ediacaran calc-alkaline Yellice metavolcanics, which are intruded by the similar to 565-576 Ma Dirgine granitoids. Homblende gneisses of the Cele meta-ophiolite comprise island arc metatholeiites and transitional to calc-alkaline metabasalts which, together with ...
