Geology of the Idis Dagı Avanos area Nevşehir Central Anatolia

1997-01-01
İdiş Dağı-Avanos area is located on the northeast of Nevşehir, and is a part of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex. The basement rocks of the study area constitue? Mesozoic aged Aşıgediği Metamorphics, that represent the uppermost unit of the Central Anatolian Metamorphics and consist of platform type meta-carbonates. İdiş Dağı Syenitoid, composed of quartz syenite, alkali feldspar quartz syenite and quartz monzonite intruded the Aşıgediği Metamorphics, and generated contact metamorphic zones. Karahıdır Volcanics are found as dykes cutting the İdiş Dağı Syenitoids and as blocks in the Göynük Volcaniclastic Olistostrome. Göynük Volcaniclastic Olistostrome unconformably covers the basement rocks. It is formed within a fault-controlled extansional basin in Uppermost Cretaceous-Lower Paleocene period, and includes the olistoliths of the Karahıdır Volcanics and İdiş Dağı Syenitoids. The late Lower Paleocene-Upper Paleocene Yeşilöz Formation consists of the Saytepe Conglomerate Member and the Asaftepe Member and represents the terrestrial and lacustrine depositional environment. Middle Eocene Mucur Formation characterising shallow marine (reefal) deposition transgressively overlies the basement rocks. It is suggested that in the Early Miocene, a compressional system effected the İdiş Dağı Area, and the basement rocks were thrusted over the Tertiary cover units. The neotectonic period started in Late Miocene in the study area. In this period a new tensional system became effective, Ürgüp and Asarcık Formations are deposited within the basins which are controlled by the Central Kızılırmak Fault Zone. The Quaternary aged travertine occurrences and talus deposits are also related to this fault zone. The Karataş

The Upper Cretaceous intrusive rocks with extensive crustal contribution in Hacimahmutusagi Area (Aksaray/Turkey)
Köksal, Serhat (Central Library of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2019-06-01)
The Hacimahmutusagi area (Aksaray/Turkey) is located in the western part of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC). Gneiss and marble compose the basement units, while intrusive rocks are gabbros and granitoids. The pegmatitic hornblende gabbros contain pegmatitic to fine-grained hornblendes, plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and accessory opaque minerals. The fine-grained gabbros, on the other hand, are composed of plagioclase, hornblende, and biotite as major components whereas the apatite and opaque ...
Geology geochemistry and geochronology of the Çöpler porphyry epithermal gold deposit central eastern Turkey
İmer, Ali; Creaser, Robert (null; 2010-11-04)
The Çöpler deposit is located about 120 km west of the city of Erzincan in central eastern Turkey, and it consists of a subeconomic porphyry-type Cu-Au mineralization overlain by paragenetically later low-sulfidation epithermal-style Au mineralization. The porphyry-epithermal mineralization is spatially related to middle Eocene intrusive rocks, which have been emplaced into a succession of Permian-Cretaceous metasedimentary and carbonate rocks within an ENE-WSW-trending structural window exposed in the nort...
Carbonate sedimentation in an extensional active margin: Cretaceous history of the Haymana region, Pontides
Okay, Aral; Altıner, Demir (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-10-01)
The Haymana region in Central Anatolia is located in the southern part of the Pontides close to the A degrees zmir-Ankara suture. During the Cretaceous, the region formed part of the south-facing active margin of the Eurasia. The area preserves a nearly complete record of the Cretaceous system. Shallow marine carbonates of earliest Cretaceous age are overlain by a 700-m-thick Cretaceous sequence, dominated by deep marine limestones. Three unconformity-bounded pelagic carbonate sequences of Berriasian, Albia...
Modeling permian petroleum system of Netherlands: hydrocarbon generation and migration
Mert-Gauthier, Esra; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Department of Geological Engineering (2010)
Groningen Gas Field is located within the southern part of the South Permian Basin in the northeast Netherlands. Since several wells have been producing from the Carboniferous-Permian Petroleum System, the field is considered as mature for hydrocarbon exploration. More detailed work is necessary to evaluate further exploration and development opportunities. Thus, evaluation of the subsurface has been carried out as part of the petroleum system concept by using the basin modeling. In this study, seismic inte...
Tectonomagmatic evolution of bimodal plutons in the central Anatolian crystalline complex, Turkey
Kadioglu, Yk; Dilek, Y; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Foland, Ka (University of Chicago Press, 2003-11-01)
The NW-trending Agacoren Intrusive Suite (AIS) on the east side of the Salt Lake (Tuz Golu), Turkey, is part of a curvilinear volcanoplutonic complex along the western edge of the central Anatolian crystalline complex (CACC). Granitoids constitute the predominant lithological group within the AIS and range in composition from monzonite through granite to alkali feldspar granite. Gabbroic rocks occur as irregular intrusive bodies with sinusoidal, irregular contacts with the granitoid plutons and vary from di...
