Three different deformation phases have been recognized in the southern part of the Cankin Basin from (1) the major structures and (2) through using paleostress inversion techniques for fault slip data. The deformation phases recognized from the paleostress data are correlated with those recognized from the major structures and dated accordingly. The first phase occurred in the Late Paleocene to pre-Burdigalian and is characterized by an oblique sigma(2) and NNE-SSW to NE-SW trending subhorizontal sigma(1) and WNW-ESE to NW-SE trending sigma(3) patterns which indicate transcurrent deformation associated with a combination of thrusting and strike slip faulting (transpression) possibly due to indentation of the Kirsehir Block to the Sakarya Continent. The second phase occurred from the Burdigalian to the Serravallian and is characterized by a subvertical sigma(1) and oblique sigma(2) and sigma(3), which indicate oblique extension associated with normal faulting possibly due to a post-orogenic collapse. The third deformation phase is characterized by a vertical 92 while the other stresses were horizontal, which indicate regional transcurrent tectonics, which is correlated with the current transcurrent tectonics controlled by the North Anatolian Fault Zone.

3D-architecture and Neogene evolution of the Malatya Basin: Inferences for the kinematics of the Malatya and Ovacik fault zones Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Ertepinar, Pinar (2006-01-01) The 3D-architecture of the Malatya Basin was studied using remote sensing, seismic interpretation, and palaeostress analysis in the context of the Malatya-Ovacik fault zone. The results indicate that the Ovacik and Malatya fault zones are not different segments of a single 'so called' Malatya-Ovacik fault zone; rather, they are two different fault zones that have operated independently. In addition, the Ovacik fault zone is delimited in the west by the Malatya fault zone, which extends farther north from th...
Kinematics of Delice-Kozaklı fault zone (North Central Anatolia, Turkey) Tokay, Bülent; Bozkurt, Erdin; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2015) The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) forms a part of Alpine orogenic belt in Turkey and incorporates three major massifs and several basins that developed during extension commenced by the Late Cretaceous. They were deformed during subsequent collision of Anatolide-Tauride Platform and Pontides. The deformation of the region has resulted in the break-up of the CACC along major deformation (fault) zones. The present study aims to test existence of one of these fault zones, namely Delice-Kozaklı f...

Cross-sectional anatomy and geodynamic evolution of the Central Pontide orogenic belt (northern Turkey) Hippolyte, JC; Espurt, Nikolas; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; SANĞU, ERCAN; Mueller, C. (2016-01-01) Geophysical data allowed the construction of a similar to 250-km-long lithospheric-scale balanced cross section of the southern Black Sea margin (Espurt et al. in Lithosphere 6:26-34, 2014). In this paper, we combine structural field data, stratigraphic data, and fault kinematics analyses with the 70-km-long onshore part of the section to reconstruct the geodynamic evolution of the Central Pontide orogen. These data reveal new aspects of the structural evolution of the Pontides since the Early Cretaceous. T...
The Character and displacement of Adıyaman fault (southeast anatolia): evidence from subsurface data Durukan, Bayram Alper; Bozkurt, Erdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) Structural interpretation of five 2D seismic sections acquired by TPAO is carried out in the Adıyaman region of Southeast Anatolia. The sections are geological calibrated with stratigraphic logs of five boreholes. This study has resulted in the discovery of a previously undefined fault, herein named as Şambayat Fault. The fault is a NW-SEtrending structure that parallels the Bozova Fault and comprises several parallel fault segments. The structural maps of Cretaceous Sayındere and Karababa formations are al...
