Geochemistry, tectono-magmatic discrimination and radiolarian ages of basic extrusives within the Izmir-Ankara Suture Belt (NW Turkey): Time constraints for the neotethyan evolution

2006-06-01
The Dagkuplu Melange in the Central Sakarya Valley represents the northernmost outcrops of the Izmir-Ankara Suture Belt in northwest Anatolia. In addition to blocks and slivers of serpentinite, gabbro, blueschist, neritic and pelagic limestones, it includes blocks of basic volcanic rocks associated with radiolarian cherts, pelagic carbonates and mudstones.

Geochemistry of the metavolcanic rocks from the Cangaldag Complex in the Central Pontides: implications for the Middle Jurassic arc-back-arc system in the Neotethyan Intra-Pontide Ocean
Cimen, Okay; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Sayıt, Kaan (2016-01-01)
The Cangaldag Complex in northern central Turkey is one of the main tectonic units of the Central Pontide Structural Complex that represents the remains of the poorly known Intra-Pontide branch of the Neotethys. It comprises low-grade metamorphic rocks of intrusive, extrusive, and volcaniclastic origin displaying a wide range of felsic to mafic compositions. Petrographically the complex consists of basalts-andesites-rhyodacites and tuffs with minor amount of gabbros and diabases. On the basis of geochemistr...
Geochemistry and Tectonic Implications of Leucogranites and Tourmalines of the Southern Menderes Massif, Southwest Turkey
Bozkurt, Erdin; Mittwede, Steven K.; Ottley, Christopher J. (Informa UK Limited, 2006-10)
Granitoid rocks of the southern Menderes Massif, SW Turkey include widespread possibly Ediacaran high-grade granitic orthogneisses and younger (Tertiary) sheets, sills and/or dikes of variably deformed tourmaline-bearing leucogranites. The latter are confined to the immediate footwall of the regional-scale ductile southern Menderes shear zone. Although both sets of granitoid rocks are essentially calc-alkaline and peraluminous, the syn- to post-collisional tourmaline-bearing leucogranites are chemically dis...
Geological and Geochemical Evolution of the Quaternary Suphan Stratovolcano, Eastern Anatolia, Turkey: Evidence for the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Interaction in Post-Collisional Volcanism
Özdemir, Yavuz; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-01-01)
The Suphan stratovolcano is one of the major Quaternary eruption centers of post-collisional volcanism in eastern Anatolia, located in the zone of convergence between the Arabian and the Anatolian plates. We document the geological and geochemical evolution of Suphan in terms of volcanostratigraphy, geochronology (Ar-40-Ar-39), isotope composition (Sr, Nd, Pb) and bulk-rock geochemistry. Our new Ar-40-Ar-39 data, along with previously published K/Ar ages, indicate an age of 0 center dot 76-0 center dot 06 M...
Diabase dykes from Bogazkale (Corum), Central Anatolia: Geochemical insights into the geodynamical evolution of the northern branch of Neotethys
Balc, Ugur; Sayıt, Kaan (Elsevier BV, 2020-05-01)
In the Bogazkale region (Corum, Central Anatolia), pieces of Neotethyan oceanic lithosphere are found in an ophiolitic melange. Within the melange, there are occurrences of isolated diabase dykes that intrude serpentinized and carbonatized ultramafics. The diabases are phaneritic, holocrystalline and equigranular, and consist of plagioclase and hornblende as the main primary mineral phases. They have all undergone low-grade alteration, to varying extents, as reflected by the presence of secondary minerals, ...
GEOCHEMISTRY AND PETROGENESIS OF THE ARC-RELATED KÖSDAĞ METAVOLCANICS, SOUTHERN CENTRAL PONTIDES, NORTHERN TURKEY
Berber, Faruk; Sayıt, Kaan; Department of Geological Engineering (2021-12-27)
The Kösdağ Metavolcanics (KM) in the southern Central Pontides crops out between the Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture Zone (IAESZ) in the south and the Sakarya Composite Terrane in the north. The unit is represented by a low-grade metamorphic assemblage including meta-basics, meta-intermediates, and meta-felsics, interlayered with recrystallized limestone, mudstone, and chert. While the unit is bounded to the north by the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), the Dikmen Formation stratigraphically overlie the unit...
