The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC), which lies within Turkish Alpine orogenic belt, incorporates several basins located either within the complex or at and along its boundaries. Many of the basins developed during extension since Late Cretaceous and then evolved with advancing collision of Anatolide-Tauride with Pontides. With regard to deformation and evolution of the region, recent paleomagnetic study from the central Anatolian intrusives defines three blocks with characteristic rotation, pointing out the break-up of the CACC and the formation of two deformation zones between blocks. This study is focused on Çiçekdag Basin (ÇB) which is located within ˘ one of the intensely deformed zones in the CACC. The structural analysis within and around ÇB in support of these models and claims is, however, limited. Thus this present study aims to provide more structural data that bears on the evolution of the Çiçekdagı Basin as well as the CACC, especially during regional contraction taking place at ˘ the end of the Eocene. Major structures of the study area fall into six groups: (i) E-W-trending synclines and a burried major reverse fault, suggesting N-S shortening; (ii) approximately NW-SE-trending plunging en-échelon folds, consistent with NE-SW compression; (iii) a NW-SE-trending (130◦ ) left-lateral strike-slip fault; (iv) E-W-trending (260◦ ) normal fault at southern edge of the basin and NW-SE-trending (∼150◦ ) normal fault; (v) NE-SW-trending reverse faults (∼050◦ -055◦ ) in the north of and middle of the basin, with hanging wall syncline geometry compatible with NWSE to N-S compression; (vi) WNW- ESE trending reverse faults implying nearly N-S compression. At this stage, it is not clear to us if all these structures were encountered within the same strain field or they belong to a poly-phase deformation. This will be evaluated and discussed further.

Structural controls of Özyurt shear-hosted gold deposit, Niğde, central Türkiye Onat, Kaan; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2022-8) Shear-hosted Özyurt Gold Deposit is located in the Niğde Massif, a metamorphic core complex at the southern tip of Kırşehir Block, in Central Türkiye. The massif is composed of alternations of gneiss, schist, quartzite, marble, and amphibolites. It is tectonically overlain by Neotethyan ophiolites and intruded by Üçkapılı Granite. Gold mineralization is hosted along the foliation surfaces, by oxidized cataclastic breccias formed in schists along a high-angle fault network, as well as the gossans at the cont...
Kinematics of Delice-Kozaklı fault zone (North Central Anatolia, Turkey) Tokay, Bülent; Bozkurt, Erdin; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2015) The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) forms a part of Alpine orogenic belt in Turkey and incorporates three major massifs and several basins that developed during extension commenced by the Late Cretaceous. They were deformed during subsequent collision of Anatolide-Tauride Platform and Pontides. The deformation of the region has resulted in the break-up of the CACC along major deformation (fault) zones. The present study aims to test existence of one of these fault zones, namely Delice-Kozaklı f...

Post miocene deformation of the area between Alibey (Kızılcahamam) and Karalar (Kazan) villages, nw Ankara (Turkey) Karaca, Aykut; Rojay, Fuat Bora; Department of Geological Engineering (2004) The study area is located within the Neogene-Quaternary sequences on top of the Mesozoic accreted mass at the northwest of Kazan (40 km NW of Ankara) between Karalar and Alibey villages. The research deals with the post-Miocene deformational history of an area situated at the southern edge of Galatian Volcanic Province. Two main Neogene rock sequences are cropped out; 1) Late Miocene Pazar Formation, 2) Plio-Quaternary Sinap Formation. The Pazar Formation has a succession composed mainly of clastics at the ...
Reservoir sedimentation in the Demirköprü Dam, Turkey Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Göğüş, Mustafa (null; 2010-09-10) The Demirköprü Reservoir is located on the Gediz River in West Central Turkey andhas a storage capacity of 1.32x109 m3 at Normal Water Surface Elevation. Construction of the dam was started in 1954 and completed in 1960. Sediment accumulation within the Demirköprü Reservoir influences the operation life of the dam. In the present study, reservoir sedimentation was assessed by two ways: com-parison between successive hydrographic surveys and suspended sediment measurements. Since 1960, two hydrog...
