Examples from the forearc basin remnants at the active margin of northern Neo Tethys Development and emplacement ages of the Anatolian Nappe Turkey Koçyiğit, Ali; Altıner, Sevinç; Rojay, Fuat Bora (1988-01-01) Based on both the detailed field and laboratory studies carried out at the north of Ankara., northwest of Amasya and south of Tokat in northern Turkey., the presence of remnants of different types of forearc .basin at the active margin of Northern Neo-Tethys has been found. The forearc deposits exposed at these localities are underlain either by only subduction complex which is coloured ophiolitic melange named as the Anatolian Nappe., or by both older rock assemblages named as the Karakaya Nappe and the An...
Examples of Subaqueous Paleoseismological Techniques from Turkey and Iceland: With Special Emphasis on the Importance of Constructing Precise Sediment Chronologies Avşar, Ulaş; Jonsson, Sigurjon; De Batist, Marc; Fagel, Nathalie; Geirsdttir, Aslaug; Thordarson, Thor; Miller, Gifford (2014-12-19) Subaqueous paleoseismological techniques have proved their potential to contribute to the paleoseismological investigations. Sedimentary records of past earthquakes have been mostly represented in lacustrine environments by multi-location coeval mass-wasting deposits and/or soft-sediment deformations. More recently, records of increased sediment influx due to seismically-triggered landslides in lake catchments have been explored by several researchers as well. The most commonly used argument in subaqueous p...
Evidence for similar to 80-75 Ma subduction jump during Anatolide-Tauride-Armenian block accretion and similar to 48 Ma Arabia-Eurasia collision in Lesser Caucasus-East Anatolia Rolland, Yann; PERİNÇEK, DOĞAN; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Sosson, Marc; Barrier, Eric; Avagyan, Ara (2012-05-01) Orogens formed by a combination of subduction and accretion are featured by a short-lived collisional history. They preserve crustal geometries acquired prior to the collisional event. These geometries comprise obducted oceanic crust sequences that may propagate somewhat far away from the suture zone, preserved accretionary prism and subduction channel at the interplate boundary. The cessation of deformation is ascribed to rapid jump of the subduction zone at the passive margin rim of the opposite side of t...
Evidence from the Gediz graben for episodic two-stage extension in western Turkey Kocyigit, A; Yusufoglu, H; Bozkurt, Erdin (1999-05-01) Western Turkey falls within a wide belt of NNE-SSW-directed, active continental extension, generally similar to the Basin and Range Province of the USA It comprises a zone of WNW-ESE-trending major grabens. Derailed study of the Gediz graben reveals two contrasting infills that represent two distinct extensional stages, separated by a short phase of compression. The older infill consists of an 800m thick, folded and exhumed continental sedimentary sequence with intercalated calc-alkaline volcanics. It accum...
Evidence of orbital forcing in lake level fluctuations in the Middle Eocene oilshale bearing lacustrine successions in the Mudurnu Göynük Basin NW Anatolia Turkey Ocakoğlu, Faruk; Sanem, Acikalin; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Şafak, Ümit (2012-01-01) Mudurnu-Göynük basin of the Sakarya Zone in NW Anatolia comprises ca. 1500 m thick Paleocene–Eocene terrestrial to shallow marine succession overlying the Late Cretaceous deeper marine progradational fore-arc sediments. Formed in a foreland setting in relation to southerly situated İzmir–Ankara suture zone, this terrestrial succession (regionally known as Kızılçay group) comprises a thin (<200 m) oil shale-bearing lacustrine section with very good cyclic patterns that potentially serves the quantification o...
