© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.The Late Cretaceous Yüksekova Complex within the southeastern Anatolia orogenic belt consists of mafic volcanic and subvolcanic rocks representing oceanic crustal products, which are the main focus of this study. The studied mafic lithologies from the İcme-Kesikköprü province east of Elaziǧ are characterized by a primary mineral assemblage of olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase, and mainly display porphyric, intergranular, intersertal, vesicular, and amygdaloidal textures. Based on Raman peak positions, the pyroxenes of these mafic lithologies from Aşaǧi Igme, Pirimezartepe and Yolüstü were determined as augite. The studied mafic rocks are chemically classified as basalt and display tholeiitic-calc-alkaline transitional characteristics. In spider diagrams, they show prominent negative Nb anomalies, while their chondrite-normalized rare earth element patterns are LREE-depleted to almost horizontal [(La/Sm)N: 0.54-1.42, (La/Lu)N: 0.54-1.85]. The immobile trace element systematics suggests that these mafic volcanic and subvolcanic rocks have originated from a metasomatized mantle source fluxed by slab-derived fluids/melts. Overall geochemical features are consistent with their generation in an oceanic arc environment.

Origin and significance of a quartz tourmaline breccia zone within the central anatolian crystalline complex, Turkey Demirel, Serhat; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Department of Geological Engineering (2004) The aim of this study is to investigate the petrography, geochemistry and evolution of quartz-tourmaline-rich rocks occurring in a wide breccia zone within the Late Cretaceous Kerkenez Granitoid (Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC), Turkey). The approximately 40-m wide main breccia zone has a NE-SW trend and is characterized by intense cataclastic deformation. The breccia zone can be traced several kilometers towards the west and generally occurs as tourmaline-filled faults and 1mm-30cm-thick veins...
The Jurassic-Early Cretaceous basalt-chert association in the ophiolites of the Ankara Melange, east of Ankara, Turkey: age and geochemistry Bortolotti, Valerio; Chiari, Marco; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Principi, Gianfranco; Saccani, Emilio; TEKİN, UĞUR KAĞAN; Tassinari, Renzo (2018-02-01) This study is focused on slide blocks including oceanic lavas associated with pelagic sediments within the eastern part of the Ankara Melange. A detailed petrological characterization of the volcanic rocks and a detailed biochronological investigation of the associated radiolarian cherts in eight sections (east of Ankara) was carried out. The volcanic rocks are largely represented by basalts and minor ferrobasalts and trachytes. They show different geochemical affinities and overlapping ages including: (a) ...
Source rock potential and organic facies properties of the oligo-miocene deposits in the Pasinler-Horasan, Tercan-Aşkale Basins (East Anatolia) Tekin, Tansel; Günal Türkmenoğlu, Asuman; Department of Geological Engineering (2002) The study involves the investigations of source rock potential and their organic facies characteristics and the depositional conditions of the Oligo-Miocene deposits in the Tercan-Aşkale and Pasinler-Horasan Basins (Eastern Anatolia). For this purpose, seven stratigraphic sections from each basin are studied. Organic geochemical and organic petrographic (microscopy based organic facies study) analyses are carried out by using a total of 102 surface samples. The studied sections are composed dominantly of cl...
Eastern Mediterranean sapropels: chemical structure, deposition and relation to oil-shales Dick, C; Ediger, V; Fabbri, D; Gaines, AF; Love, GD; McGinn, A; McRae, C; Murray, IP; Nicol, BJ; Snape, CE (Elsevier BV, 2002-03-01) Ten sapropels, deposited in three different basins of the eastern Mediterranean since the Miocene and selected from cores of the Deep Sea Drilling Programme have been characterised by elemental analysis; fluorescence, infra-red and NMR spectrometry, by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and by catalytic hydrogenation at moderately high pressure. The sapropels are Types I-II kerogens, which have been oxidised, probably by a front experienced, since their deposition. Only one, from the Cretan basi...
High-altitude Plio-Quaternary fluvial deposits and their implication on the tilt of a horst, western Anatolia, Turkey Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Rojay, B (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-01) This study investigates the origin and regional tectonic implications of high-altitude Plio (?)-Quaternary fluvial deposits developed over the Bozdak horst which is an important structural element within the horst-graben system of western Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 23 deposits occur near the modem drainage divide comprising fluvial to occasionally lacustrine deposits. The deposits are all elongated in N-S direction with a width/length ratio of 1/10. The largest of them is of 13 km in length with a maximum...
