The best preserved Permian - Triassic boundary beds in Turkey are found in the Hadim region of the central Taurides. The succession is exposed in one of the allochthonous units of the Tauride Belt, the Aladag Unit, whose stratigraphy includes beds ranging from the Devonian to the Cretaceous systems. In the Aladag Unit, the Permian - Triassic boundary beds are entirely composed of carbonates. The Permian portion of these beds belongs to the Paradagmarita Zone, whereas the lowermost Triassic contains the Lower Griesbachian marker Rectocornuspira kalhori. The uppermost Permian carbonates, composed of meter-scale upward shallowing subtidal cycles, are characterized by oolitic limestones of regressive character at the top and are overlain sharply by Lower Triassic stromatolites. Cyclic Upper Permian carbonates are interpreted as highstand systems tract deposits of the last third-order sequence of the Permian System. The Permian - Triassic boundary is an unconformity corresponding to both erosional and non-depositional hiatuses. The gap at the Permian - Triassic boundary partially corresponds to the shelf-margin systems tract and partly to the transgressive systems tract of the overlying third-order sequence. Stromatolites are interpreted as transgressive systems tract deposits.

Cyclic sedimentation across the Permian-Triassic boundary (Central Taurides, Turkey) Unal, E; Altıner, Demir; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Ozkan-Altiner, S (2003-06-01) The best preserved Permian - Triassic boundary beds in Turkey are found in the Hadim region of the central Taurides. The succession is exposed in one of the allochthonous units of the Tauride Belt, the Aladag Unit, whose stratigraphy includes beds ranging from the Devonian to the Cretaceous systems. In the Aladag Unit, the Permian - Triassic boundary beds are entirely composed of carbonates. The Permian portion of these beds belongs to the Paradagmarita Zone, whereas the lowermost Triassic contains the Lowe...
Whole rock geochemistry, Zircon U-Pb and Hf isotope systematics of the Cangaldag Pluton: Evidences for Middle Jurassic Continental Arc Magmatism in the Central Pontides, Turkey ÇİMEN, OKAY; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Simonetti, Antonio; Sayıt, Kaan (2017-10-01) The Central Pontides (Turkey) includes several igneous complexes, which are predominantly PermoCarboniferous and Middle Jurassic in age. The Cangaldag Pluton is one of the largest igneous bodies located in the northern Central Pontides, whose age and tectono-magmatic evaluation is important to constrain the geological evolution of the Northern Neotethys. The pluton tectonically overlies the cangaldag Metamorphic Complex, which represents an arc-back-arc complex of Middle Jurassic age. The Cangaldag Pluton c...
Carbon-isotope stratigraphy of the Cenomanian-Turonian carbonate succession of the Türkoğlu section (SE Turkey): implications for the timing of Late Cretaceous sea-level rise and anoxic event Mulayim, O; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Sarı, Bilal; Taslı, Kemal (2019-10-18) A carbon–isotope stratigraphy of the upper Cretaceous shallow and deeper water Cretaceous limestones from Türkoğlu section, SE Turkey, has enabled an accurate definition of the Cenomanian–Turonian boundary. Carbon–isotope stratigraphy of this succession revealed a positive shift 13C values that reached +1,97% and represent the CTB interval excursion (OAE2). The sediments close to the boundary show pelagic influence registered by the presence of planktic foraminifera. These results spotlight the potential u...
Formation and emplacement ages of the SSZ-type Neotethyan ophiolites in Central Anatolia, Turkey: palaeotectonic implications Yaliniz, MK; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Altıner, Sevinç (2000-04-01) Isolated outcrops of ophiolitic rocks, termed the Central Anatolian Ophiolites, are found as allochthonous bodies in the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex, that represent the metamorphosed passive northern edge of the Tauride-Anatolide Platform, central Turkey. In terms of pseudostratigraphic relationships of the magmatic units and their chemical designation, the Central Anatolian Ophiolites exhibit a supra-subduction zone (fore-arc) setting within the Vardar-Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan segment of the Neoteth...
Geology and geochemistry of the pre-Early Cambrian rocks in the Sandikli area: Implications for the Pan-African evolution of NW Gondwanaland Gursu, S; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Bayhan, H (2004-10-01) The pre-Early Cambrian Sandikli Basement Complex in western Central Anatolia comprises a low-grade metasedimentary succession (Guvercinoluk Formation) and meta-rhyolites intruded by meta-quartz porphyry rocks (Kestel Cayi Porphyroid Suite). The Guvercinoluk Formation consists of alternation of meta-siltstones and meta-sandstones with olistostromal conglomerates, rare black chert and cherty meta-dolomite lenses. The Kestel Cayi Porphyroid Suite is a deformed, highly sheared dome-shaped rhyolitic body with qu...
