The sedimentation rates and Pb-210 fluxes on sediment surfaces were measured in the north, northwestern and southwestern parts of the Sea of Marmara. Each core had varying thickness of constant Pb-210 activity regions followed by a decreasing part with sediment depth. The sedimentation rates of the samples collected from the Bosporus and the Dardanelles could not be analysed due to the homogenization of activity in the strong currents of these straits. A uniform mixing model is proposed for the simultaneous analysis of sedimentation rates, Pb-210 fluxes and mixing depths from the experimental data. In this model, the parameters were obtained by minimizing the multi-dimensional parameter space using a grid search algorithm. The Pb-210 fluxes were found to be about 0.048 Bq cm(-2) year(-1) for all sampling sites. The mass sedimentation rates were 0.19 and 0.073 g cm(-2) year(-1) at the shelves of the Bosporus and the Dardanelles and 0.055 and 0.064 g cm(-2) year(-1) in the northwestern and middle northern basins, respectively, of the Sea of Marmara.

Revealing plio-pleistocene terrestrial-marine environmental transititons in Southwestern Anatolia by using magnetostratigraphy: first observations from Datça graben İnce, Meryem Dilan; Tosun, Levent; Uzel, Bora; Langereıs, Cor; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Özkaymak, Çağlar; Stoıca, Marıous ( TMMOB Jeoloji Mühendisleri Odası; 2019-02-01) In this study, it was aimed to show the Plio-Quaternary terrestrial and marine sediments deposited in the coasts of Southwestern Anatolia and the tectonic and global origin of those units that reveal the sea level changes by using integrated stratigraphic and structural geologic data. This stıdy comprise the results of the first data conducted in Datça, Bodrum, Söke and Germencik areas are selected in the scope of this study. In this presentation, first observations from Datça area will be discussed. The NW...
Possible sources and mechanisms of manganese enrichment in the deep-sea sedıments of the Marmara trough depressions (ne-Mediterranean, Turkey) ERGIN, M (1994-01-01) Enrichment of Mn in deep-water relative to shallow-water sediments in the Marmara Basin was investigated using earlier metal data and some geochemical information from other similar marine regions on a comparative basis. Deep-water (1152-1276 m) sediments from the three depressions located along the Marmara Trough of the seismically-active North Anatolian Fault Zone contained much higher Mn concentrations (< 6355 ppm; over 10 600 ppm in some core horizons; on a carbonate-free basis) than those from the surr...
Recent surficial shelf sediments of the Cilician Basin (Turkey), northeastern Mediterranean Ediger, V; Evans, G; Ergin, M (1997-11-01) The continental shelf of Mersin Bay forms the northwestern margin of the Adana-Cilician Basin; it extends from the Goksu delta (in the southwest) to the Seyhan-Tarsus-Ceyhan delta (in the northeast) and is narrower and steeper in the southwest than in the northeast.
Reconstruction of a Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous carbonate platform margin with composite biostratigraphy and microfacies analysis (western Sakarya Zone, Turkey): Paleogeographic and tectonic implications Atasoy, Serdar Görkem; Altıner, Demir (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01) During Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous the Pontides were the site of a wide carbonate platform facing the Tethys ocean in the south. In the western Pontides the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous shallow marine carbonates abut the Tethyan Izmir-Ankara suture with no evidence for platform margin deposits. The Sivrihisar klippe 50 km south of the Izmir-Ankara suture preserves a record of the missing platform margin. In the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous carbonates exposed in this Sivrihisar klippe, two coeval bu...
Timing of post-collisional H-type to A-type granitic magmatism: U-Pb titanite ages from the Alpine central Anatolian granitoids (Turkey) Koksal, S; Romer, RL; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Toksoy Köksal, Fatma (2004-12-01) The last stages of the continental collision during the closure of the Neotethyan ocean in central Anatolia are characterized by post-collisional H- and A-type granitoids intruding both the metamorphic country rocks and allochthonous ophiolitic rocks of the central Anatolian crystalline complex. Available Rb - Sr and K - Ar whole-rock and mineral age data on the Hand A-type granitoids in central Anatolia are inconsistent. To better constrain the geological relevance and the timing of the change in the chemi...
