Abstract: The Menderes Massif is a large-scale metamophic core-complex in western Anatolia and forms the western of two large metamorphic culminations in the Turkish Alpide orogen. Within the Southern Menderes Massif on the southern side of the Beßparmak Mountain north of Selimiye (Milas-MuÛla), two distinct lithologic groups are recognized on the basis of their lithology and structural position: the late Oligocene granitoid rocks now in the form of mylonitic augen gneiss and the structurally overlying sequence of Palaeozoic metasediments where the former display intrusive boundary relationships with the latter. In this part of the massif, three metamorphic phases (M1, M2, M4) have been, distinguished in the metasediments on the basis of field, fabric, textural and petrographic data. The earliest episode (M1) is a regional Barrovian-type metamorphism that reached upper amphibolite facies at structurally lower levels of the metasediments and gradually decreases southwards to greenschist facies at upper levels (main Menderes metamorphism). High temperatures during the climax of M1 facilitated crustal anatexis at depth, and produced a granitic melt which was emplaced concordantly into the metasediments. The intrusion has resulted in the M2 contact metamorphism. A last retrograde metamorphism (M4) was the manifestation of the uplift, unroofing and consequent cooling of the metasediments.

Extrusive members of postcollisional A-type magmatism in Central Anatolia: Karahidir Volcanics, Idis Dagi-Avanos Area, Turkey Koksal, S; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Floyd, PA (2001-08-01) The Idis Dagi Igneous Complex is one of a number of late-stage plutonic bodies within the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex. It intrudes Paleozoic-Mesozoic metamorphic basement rocks and Late Cretaceous granitoids. The complex comprises mainly quartz syenites and alkali-feldspar quartz syenites known as the Idis Dagi Syenitoids.
Granitoid rocks of the southern Menderes Massif (southwestern Turkey): field evidence for Tertiary magmatism in an extensional shear zone Bozkurt, Erdin (2004-02-01) Recent field campaign in the southern Menderes Massif in southwestern Turkey revealed that the socalled 'core of the massif comprises two distinct types of granitoid rocks: an orthogneiss (traditionally known as augen gneisses) and leucocratic metagranite, where the latter is intrusive into the former and the structurally overlying 'cover' schists. These differ from one another in intensity of deformation, degree of metamorphism and kinematics. The orthogneiss display penetrative top-to-the-N-NNE fabrics fo...
Shear-hosted Gold Mineralization in Central Anatolian Metamorphic Massifs Onat, Kaan; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Kuşcu, İlkay; Yalçıntaş, Hakan; Kaskatı, Mustafa Tuna (2022-9-13) Niğde Massif (South-central Turkey) is a metamorphic core complex composed of amigmatite-paragneiss basement, overlain by schist-marble-amphibolite alternation and a thickmarble sequence. The massif experienced peak pressure-temperature conditions of >725 ℃and ∼16-20 km at the age of ∼ 91 Ma, which led to the partial melting of continental crustand generation of a subsequent intrusion of the crustal-derived Üçkapılı Granite and dike/sillarrays into the massif.The field studies led to three distinct miner...
Tectonic evolution of the Cretaceous Ankara Ophiolitic Melange during the Late Cretaceous to pre-Miocene interval in Central Anatolia, Turkey Rojay, Fuat Bora (2013-04-01) The chaotic tectonic belt, which is distinguished in northern Anatolia, is called the - Ankara Accretionary Complex - in the Ankara region, central Anatolia. The belt is differentiated into three imbricated tectonic subbelts, namely, pre-Triassic metamorphics, Melange with calcareous blocks and Cretaceous melange with ophiolitic blocks (Ankara Ophiolitic Melange).
GEOLOGY AND CHEMICAL VARIATIONS IN TOURMALINE FROM THE QUARTZ-TOURMALINE BRECCIAS WITHIN THE KERKENEZ GRANITE-MONZONITE MASSIF, CENTRAL ANATOLIAN CRYSTALLINE COMPLEX, TURKEY Demirel, Serhat; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Topuz, Gueltekin; IŞIK, VEYSEL (2009-08-01) A hydrothermal breccia zone 6 km long and 2 km wide, crossed by quartz-tourmaline veins, occurs to the south of the Late Cretaceous Kerkenez granite-monzonite massif in the northern part of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex, Yozgat, Turkey. This breccia zone is characterized by numerous veins, a few millimeters to 1 meter in width, and display typical microtectonic features of multiple brecciation. Trace amounts of albite, K-feldspar, epidote, muscovite and rutile are associated with quartz and tour...
