The Beypazari granitoid is emplaced in a Late Cretaceous volcanic arc in north central Turkey and provides evidence for processes that occurred during the closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean. Zircons from its northern granodiorite and quartz monzonite exposure are dated in rock thin section and display characteristic igneous zoning in cathodoluminescence (CL). Its oldest Late Cretaceous ages (95.4 +/- 4.2-91.3 +/- 6.5 Ma, U-238/Pb-206, +/- 1 sigma) time early crystallization from rising melts, but inspection of the youngest grains in composite CL-secondary electron images shows they are located along grain boundaries surrounded by alteration textures and were possibly affected by fluid-driven metamorphism. Ages obtained from zircon mid-rims (82.7 +/- 6.0-70.5 +/- 3.4 Ma) record continuous crystallization of the pluton. Here, we model the Late Cretaceous development of the Beypazari granitoid wherein subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic plate, multiple injections and mixing of magma, and crustal contribution during ascent are the cause of geochemical heterogeneities within the pluton and account for protracted zircon crystallization. The model speculates that the pluton is in the overriding tectonic plate of a series of stacked, north-dipping subduction zones that record the closure of Neo-Tethyan ocean basins during the geologic assembly of Turkey.

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...
Discovery of Middle Permian volcanism in the Antalya Nappes, southern Turkey: tectonic significance and global meaning
Sahin, Nazif; Altıner, Demir; Ercengiz, M. Bulent (Informa UK Limited, 2012-09-01)
Detailed stratigraphic studies on the Middle-Upper Permian rocks of the Tahtalidag nappe (Antalya Nappes), largely exposed along the Guzelsu Corridor in central Taurides, have revealed the presence of basaltic volcanic rocks intercalated within the shallow-marine fossiliferous carbonate successions. Vitrophyric basaltic extrusions producing distinct pillows in the Kizilbag Formation severely dolomitized the associated carbonate rocks. The coeval Cukurkoy Formation, devoid of volcanic layers, is also exposed...
Pattern of normal faulting in the Gediz Graben, SW Turkey
Ciftci, N. Bozkurt; Bozkurt, Erdin (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-20)
Hanging-wall deformation of the fault systems controlling the southern margin of the Gediz Graben were investigated separately within the Plio-Quaternary and Neogene (predominantly Miocene) deposits of the graben fill. Fault styles observed in both packages share many similarities in terms of geometry and comprise conjugate fault sets that show clustering of strike orientations predominantly around WNW-ESE but also SW-NE and NW-SE directions. The main difference between the two units is observable in terms ...
A new intracontinental transcurrent structure: the Central Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey
Kocyigit, A; Beyhan, A (Elsevier BV, 1998-01-30)
Recent neotectonic studies, including remote-sensing, aerial photographs, geological field mapping on various scales and measured stratigraphic section substantiate the existence of a large sinistral intracontinental transcurrent structure, which we call the Central Anatolian Fault Zone (CAFZ). This is an approximately 730-km-long, 2-km- to 80-km-wide, NE-trending, active sinistral strike-slip fault zone that cuts across the Anatolian plateau between Duzyayla in the northeast and Anamur County in the southw...
Suşehri basin: an active fault-wedge basin on the North Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey
Koçyiǧit, A. (Elsevier BV, 1989-10)
The Suşehri section of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) is dominated by an active fault-wedge basin. Its recent configuration is a Quaternary strike-slip depression superimposed on a larger, fault-controlled fluvial to lacustrine setting inherited from the Pliocene. In and around the Suşehri fault-wedge basin, the NAFZ is characterized by the North Anatolian master fault (NAMF) or principal displacement zone (PDZ) and four second-order fault sets, namely the Kelkit, Akçaaǧil, Beydeǧirmeni and Ekenek fa...
