Plagiogranites within the supra-subduction zone (SSZ) type Saikaraman Ophiolite (SO), Central Anatolia, are very fine to coarse grained leucocratic rocks with a range of occurrences as simple narrow fracture infilling to wide complex zones of net-veining or agmatites with numerous, partly assimilated enclaves of gabbro and dolerite. Petrographically, they are characterized by the textures ranging from hypidiomorphic granular to granophyric intergrowths of quartz and plagioclase. Geochemically, major and trace elements data revealed that the plagiogranites belong to the typically low-potassium series of ophiolitic complexes and show similar geochemical characteristics with the Ocean-Ridge Granites. They are characterized by 10-20 times enriched flat chondrite REE patterns with a negative Eu anomalies relative to mafic component in the SO. This confirms the cogenetic nature of the plagiogranites and indicates progressive fractionation in the Sarikaraman mafic magma.

Petrology of the Kurancali phlogopitic metagabbro an Island arc type ophiolitic sliver in the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex Toksoy Köksal, Fatma; Yalınız, Mustafa Kenan (2002-06-01) In the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC), besides the ophiolitic bodies with more or less recognisable sequence and preserved magmatic pseudostratigraphy, there are many massive and layered gabbroic masses occurring as isolated outcrops. Most of these mafic rocks were interpreted as dismembered parts of an allochthonous ophiolitic assemblage (Yaliniz et al, 2000), derived from the northerly located Izmir-Ankara branch of the Alpine Neotethys. An overall supra-subduction zone genesis has been envi...
Geochemistry of the post-collisional Miocene mafic Tunceli Volcanics, Eastern Turkey: Implications for the nature of the mantle source and melting systematics Aktağ, Alican; Sayıt, Kaan (2019-01-01) The East Anatolian Accretionary Complex (EAAC) comprises an ideal example of post-collisional volcanism within the Africa-Eurasia collision zone. The Miocene mafic Tuncell Volcanics, as a part of this post-collisional volcanic system, are located in the western termination of EAAC. The mafic Tunceli Volcanics are characterized by mildly alkaline and tholeiitic basalts, in which olivine, clinopyroxene and plagioclase characterize the main mineralogy. The role of fractional crystallization (FC) and assimilati...
Synorogenic eocene leucogranite magmatism in the southern menderes massif and its tectonic significance Bozkurt, Erdin; Quentin G, Crowley (null; 2015-04-06) Güney Menderes Masifi’nde üst düzeylerin güneye hareket ettiği normal bileşenli Güney Menderes makaslama zonunun (GMMZ) taban bloğunda yer alan ortognayslar ile onları yapısal olarak üzerleyen metasedimanlar lökogranit kütleleri tarafından kesilirler. Bu lökogranit kütlelerinden birisi geç Orta Eosen (U-Pb zirkon yaşı) yaşındadır. Bu veri GMMZ’ndaki sinorojenik normal hareketin başlama yaşı olarak yorumlanmıştır. En yaşlı uyumsuz sedimanlar masifin erken Miyosen’de yüzeye çıktığını göstermektedir. Ortognasy...
Mineral chemistry and thermobarometry of Soltan Meidan basalts, North of Shahrood Derakhshi, Morteza; Ghasemi, H.; Toksoy Köksal, Fatma (2015-06-01) Soltan Maidan Basaltic Complex consists of a thick succession of basaltic lavas associated with some thin sedimentary interlayers that are exposed in the northwest to northeast of Shahrood. Soltan Maidan basaltic rocks has been generated from magma with transitional to mildly alkaline nature and derived by 14-20 percent partial melting of an enriched garnet peridotitic mantle source in an intra-continental rift setting during Late Ordovician to early Late Silurian. These basaltic rocks are relatively unifor...
Petrology of the Eocene volcanism in the central anataolia: implication for the early tertiary evolution of the Central Anatolian crystalline complex Geneli, Fatma; Güncüoğlu, M. Cemal; Kuşcu, Gonca; Department of Geological Engineering (2011) In the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) the Late Cretaceous post-collisional granitic magmatism is followed by Eocene extension, resulting in formation of roughly E-W trending transtensional basins. Formation of these basins was accompanied by calc- alkaline- mildly alkaline volcanism. The volcanic rocks, mainly subaques lava flows and subareal domes are concentrated along these basins and associated with Middle Eocene (Bartonian) Mucur Formation. They are basic to intermediate and are classifie...
