The petrology of the granitic and volcanic rocks cropping out in Avanos (Nevşehir) area sheds light on the nature of magmatism in central Anatolia. In the region while granitoids intrude the Precambrian-Paleozoic-Mesozoic metamorphic basement rocks, volcanic rocks are found as dykes cutting granitoids and blocks in Late Cretaceous (?)- Early Paleocene olistostromal unit (Göncüoğlu et al., 1997; Köksal et al., 2001). The felsic intrusive rocks in the Avanos area are quartz-syenite and alkali-feldspar quartz-syenite while volcanic rocks are trachydacite, trachyandesite and dacite. Both type of rock assemblages, in general, have similar mineral constituents which are K-feldspar, plagioclase, amphibole, biotite ± quartz ± clinopyroxene ± muscovite of essential minerals, and accessory phases of zircon, titanite, apatite and opaque. In the quartz-free volcanic rocks, there is limited amount of pseudoleucite in addition to these minerals. The granitoids and volcanic rocks, showing similarities also within the aspect of whole-rock element geochemistry, are alkaline and metaluminous-slightly peraluminous (molar A/CNK<1.1). The rocks can be described as A-type and post-collisional based on Whalen et al. (1987) and Pearce et al. (1984) classifications. Variation of elements against silica shows that both rock groups are characterized by same elemental distributions and trends. Moreover, these rocks display similar enrichment and depletion ranges and analogous patterns. In the multi-element diagram, Nb, Ta, Ti depletion and Rb, Th, K, Pb, U enrichment are noteworthy, besides in the rare earth element diagram LREEs are enriched compared to HREEs ([La/Yb]N = 12–97), and negative Eu anomaly is not very significant ([Eu/Eu*]N=0,65–0,92). Petrographic observations and whole-rock element geochemistry data point out that the granitic and volcanic rocks are cogenetic. Furthermore, the initial Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope ratios of both rock groups overlap in small ranges ([87Sr/86Sr]T= 0,708479–0,709896; εNd(T)= -7,2 – -9,1; [206Pb/204Pb]T = 18,84–18,98; [207Pb/204Pb]T = 15,72–15,76; [208Pb/204Pb]T = 38,98–39,24; n=24). Thus isotopic data also support the cogenetic relationship between these rocks. The data obtained show that the volcanics are shallow intrusive and extrusive equivalents of the granitic rocks in the Avanos area. Furthermore, it is suggested that both rocks are derived from mantle sourced magma that is affected from crustal contamination. These rocks are thought to be products of post-collisional magmatism generated due to the crustal thickening during the closure of Neotethyan İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan branch.

A geochemical approach to Neogene-Quaternary volcanic activity of western Anatolia: An example of episodic bimodal volcanism within the Selendi Basin, Turkey
Ersoy, Y.; Helvaci, C.; Sozbilir, H.; ERKÜL, FUAT; Bozkurt, Erdin (2008-09-30)
New radiometric age and geochemical data are presented from the late Cenozoic volcanic activity in the Selendi Basin of western Anatolia. Stratigraphical and age data show that the volcanism occurred in four distinct stages from the early Miocene to Quaternary. The first early Miocene stage includes two volcanic units with contrasting compositions: the Egreltidag volcanic unit and the Kuzayir lamproite. These volcanic units interfinger with the sedimentary rocks of the early Miocene Hacibekir Group. The Egr...
The anatomy of a gabbro body and its bearings on the origin of mafic enclaves in the Ağaçören granitoid central Turkey
Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Yusuf Kagan, Kadıoglu; Barbara, Barreıro (1996-01-01)
The origin of mafic enclaves and mafic magmatic rocks associated with the Cretaceous Aǧaçören granitoid (central Turkey) was investigated through field, petrographic, and geochemical studies along a contact between enclave-bearing granite and a gabbro body exposed at the top of the granite. Three zones were distinguished within the gabbro, from center to margin: massive gabbro, transitional gabbro, and shattered gabbro. Petrographic features display a continuous change from massive to shattered gabbro, repr...
Reconstructing the geometry of central Anatolia during the late Cretaceous: Large-scale Cenozoic rotations and deformation between the Pontides and Taurides
Lefebvre, Come; Meijers, Maud J. M.; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Peynircioglu, Ahmet; Langereis, Cor G.; van Hinsbergen, Douwe J. J. (Elsevier BV, 2013-03-15)
The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) exposes metamorphic, ophiolitic and igneous rocks that were formed and deformed during closure of the Neotethyan ocean. The CACC is located in central Turkey, between the Pontides in the north and the Taurides in the south, separated by major fault zones. Composite plutons intruded the meta-sedimentary and ophiolitic units between similar to 95 and 75 Ma, and form linear magmatic belts (similar to 100 km long) along the western and northern margins of the CAC...
A 3400 year lacustrine paleoseismic record from the North Anatolian Fault, Turkey: Implications for bimodal recurrence behavior
Avşar, Ulaş; Batist, Marc De; Fagel, Nathalie (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2014-1-28)
High-resolution physical, geochemical, and geochronological analyses on the sedimentary sequence of Yenicaa Lake, located in a fault-bounded basin along the North Anatolian Fault, reveal fingerprints of paleoearthquakes. A robust sediment chronology, spanning the last 3400 years, is constructed by radiocarbon dating and time-stratigraphical correlation with the precisely dated Sofular Cave speleothem record. Yenicaa sedimentary sequence contains 11 seismically induced event deposits characterized by silicic...
The structure of the Palaeozoic schists in the southern Menderes Massif, western Turkey: a new approach to the origin of the main Menderes Metamorphism and its relation to the Lycian Nappes
Bozkurt, Erdin (1999-01-01)
The Early Eocene to Early Oligocene tectonic history of the Menderes Massif involves a major regional Barrovian-type metamorphism (M-1, Main Menderes Metamorphism, MMM), present only in the Palaeozoic-Cenozoic metasediments (the so-called "cover" of the massif), which reached upper amphibolite facies with local anatectic melting at structurally lower levels of the cover rocks and gradually decreased southwards to greenschist facies at structurally higher levels. it is not present in the augen gneisses (the ...
