High-resolution shallow seismic reflection (Uniboom) and echosounding profiles obtained on the shelf and upper slope areas of Anamur Bay (Turkey, northeastern Mediterranean) were studied together with previous data on the onshore geology of the area to investigate the origin and related seismic stratigraphy of the submarine Anamur Canyon. It was found that the main axial trend of the submarine Anamur Canyon is aligned with the offshore projection of the N-S orientated, onshore Anamur thrust fault of Late Cretaceous (Senonian) to Early Tertiary age.

SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY AND LATE QUATERNARY SEDIMENTS IN INNER AND MID-SHELF AREAS OF EASTERN MERSIN BAY, NORTHEASTERN MEDITERRANEAN-SEA
ERGIN, M; OKYAR, M; TIMUR, K (Elsevier BV, 1992-02-29)
High-resolution shallow-seismic reflection (Uniboom) profiles obtained in inner and mid-shelf areas of eastern Mersin Bay (Turkey, northeastern Mediterranean) show that the sedimentary column comprises two major and distinct lithological sequences (C and B) separated by a reflector (R) which is interpreted as the pre-Holocene surface. The upper sedimentary sequence (C) is thought to represent roughly the Holocene and is characterized by parallel/divergent to sigmoidal reflection patterns above (Unit 1) and ...
Seismic stratigraphy of Late Quaternary sediments of western Mersin Bay shelf, (NE Mediterranean Sea)
Okyar, M; Ergin, M; Evans, G (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-15)
High-resolution shallow seismic-reflection profiles obtained from the western Mersin Bay have revealed the existence of the two distinct depositional sequences (C and B) lying on a narrow and relatively steeply-sloping continental shelf which mainly receives its sediments from the ephemeral rivers. The upper Holocene sedimentary sequence (C) is characterized by stratified (simple to complex) to chaotic reflection configurations produced by the development of a prograding wedge of terrigenous sediment.

SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF THE SOUTHEASTERN BLACK-SEA SHELF FROM HIGH-RESOLUTION SEISMIC RECORDS
OKYAR, M; EDIGER, V; ERGIN, M (Elsevier BV, 1994-11-01)
High-resolution seismic reflection profiles obtained from the shelves off the Samsun and Trabzon coasts (southeastern Black Sea) have revealed the existence of two distinct reflectors (R and T).
Recent sedimentation on the shelf and upper slope in the Bay of Anamur, southern coast of Turkey
Alavi, Seyed Naeim; Ediger, Volkan S.; Ergin, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 1989-9)
Sedimentological studies, supported by Uniboom profiles and sonographs, of surface sediments from a part of the narrow southern shelf of Anatolia, indented by the head of a submarine canyon and partly covered by meadows of macrophytobenthos, revealed abrupt lateral and vertical variations in the Holocene sedimentary facies. These variations have essentially been controlled by the migration of depocentres, (palaeo-) topography of the shelf and an overall decrease in the rate of fluviatile sediment supply in ...
Sub-ophiolite metamorphic rocks from NW Anatolia, Turkey
Onen, AP; Hall, R (Wiley, 2000-09-01)
The metamorphic rocks from near Kutahya in north-west Anatolia record different stages in the history of closure of the Neo-Tethyan Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan ocean. Sub-ophiolite metamorphic rocks within the Tavsanli zone are a tectonically composite sequence of quartz-mica schists, amphibole schists, amphibolites and garnet amphibolites. They show increasing metamorphic grade towards the base of the ophiolite. A first metamorphic event, typical of sub-ophiolite metamorphic sole rocks, was characterized by high...
