Gondwana(Tauride Platfrom and Kırşehir Block) and Eurasia (Pontides) derived continental blocks bound the Haymana basin, in the south and north, respectively. Boundaries between these blocks are signed by İzmirAnkara-Erzincan and debatable Intra-Tauride Suture zones which are straddled by the Haymana Basin in the region. In this regard, deformation recorded in the upper Cretaceous to middle Eocene deposits of the basin is mainly controlled by the relative movements of these blocks. Therefore, understanding the structural evolution of the Haymana Basin in a spatio-temporal concept is crucial to shed some light on some debatable issues such as ; (1) timing of late stage subduction histories of various branches of Neotethys and subsequent collision events, (2) effects of post-collisional tectonic activity in the Haymana region.

Gondwana (Tauride/kirsehir blocks) and Eurasia (Pontides) derived continental blocks delimit the Haymana basin, central Turkey, to the south and the north, respectively. The boundaries of these blocks define the IzmirAnkara-Erzincan and Intra-Tauride Suture zones which are straddled by a number of Late Cretaceous to Oligocene marine to continental basins. The Haymana Basin is located at the junction of the IAESZ and ITSZ and comprises Upper Cretaceous to Middle Eocene basin infill deposited in response to t...
Shear wave splitting along a nascent plate boundary: the North Anatolian Fault Zone
Biryol, C. Berk; Zandt, George; Beck, Susan L.; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Adiyaman, Hande E.; Gans, Christine R. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-06-01)
P>The North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) is a transform structure that constitutes the boundary between the Anatolian Plate to the south and the Eurasia Plate to the north. We analysed the properties of the upper-mantle strain field and mantle anisotropy in the vicinity of NAFZ via splitting of SKS and SKKS phases. We used data from the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) passive seismic experiment. This is the first study that analyses the upper-mantle anisotropy in this region and our results indicate that the obs...
Extensional tectonics of SW Anatolia in relation to slab edge processes in the Eastern Mediterranean

The tectonics of SW Anatolia is expressed in terms of emplacement of Lycian Nappes during the Eocene to Middle Miocene and synconvergent extension as part of the Aegean-West Anatolian extensional tectonic regime. Recent studies identified that there is a tear in the northwards subducting African Oceanic lithosphere along the Pliny-Strabo Trenches (PST). Such tears are coined as Subduction Transform-Edge Propagator (STEP) faults developed high angle to trenches. Hypothetically, the evolution of a STEP fault ...
Mantle to Surface dynamics across subduction-collision transtions in space and time: results from the CD-CAT project in Anatolia
Rojay, Fuat Bora; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Özacar, Atilla Arda (2017-12-15)
From west to east, the southern plate boundary of Anatolia varies from subduction to continental collision; plate dynamics are influenced by the interaction of back-arc extension in the west (Aegean) and convergence in the east (Arabia-Eurasia). Prior to 40 Ma, the entire margin was a subduction zone. The NSF project "Continental Dynamics-Central Anatolian Tectonics (CD-CAT)" has contributed to understanding how the mantle, crust, and surface evolve in subduction-to-collision transitions in time and space. ...
Neotectonics of East Anatolian Plateau (Turkey) and Lesser Caucasus: implication for transition from thrusting to strike-slip faulting
Kocyigit, A; Yilmaz, A; Adamia, S; Kuloshvili, S (2001-01-01)
The east Anatolian plateau and the Lesser Caucasus are characterised and shaped by three major structures: (1) NW-and NE-trending dextral to sinistral active strike-slip faults, (2) N-S to NNW-trending fissures and /or Plio-Quaternary volcanoes, and (3) a 5-km thick, undeformed Plio-Quaternary continental volcanosedimentary sequence accumulated in Various strike-slip basins. In contrast to the situation in the east Anatolian plateau and the Lesser Caucasus, the Transcaucasus and the Great Caucasus are chara...
