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, represented by an increase in the biotite/hornblende ratio and in the amount of interstitial quartz, and a decrease in color index. These changes are accompanied by the appearance, towards shattered gabbro, of specific textural features (acicular apatite and blade-shaped mafic minerals) which record the evidences of magma mixing. Geochemically, gabbro and granite have enrichment in Large Ion Lithophile (LIL), with respect to High Field Strength (HFS) elements, suggesting derivation from a subduction-modified upper mantle and/or a mixture of mantle and crustal components. Element enrichment levels increase from massive gabbro towards granite and are accompanied by an increase in 87Sr/86Sr, and a decrease in 143Nd/144Nd ratios. Enclaves have petrographic features similar to those of shattered gabbro, and geochemical features intermediate between granite and gabbro. Overall, the gabbro-enclave-granite spectrum appears to record the interaction between mafic and felsic magmas in a silicic magma chamber replenished by mafic influx from an isotopically enriched mantle. Constraints from isotope data point to an increase in the relative proportion of the mafic magma from 30% in granite to 90% in gabbro.

The experimental analysis on the Late Quaternary deposits of the Black Sea
Tekiroglu, SE; Ediger, V; Yemenicioglu, S; Kapur, S; Akca, E (Elsevier BV, 2001-01-01)
Holocene sediments taken from the south-eastern and western Black Sea have been investigated in relation to their geochemical, sedimentological and mineralogical characteristics. Their textures are characterized by their low amount of sand, upward-increasing silt and downward-increasing clay contents. While the terrigenous materials transported from Anatolian volcanic-based sources and European alluvial sediments form the shore deposits, the deep-sea sediments mainly consist of the marine biological product...
An Approach to the Central Anatolian (Avanos) Late Mesozoic Magmatism: Petrology of Cogenetic Granitic and Volcanic Rocks.
Toksoy Köksal, Fatma; Köksal, Serhat (null; 2008-03-28)
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...
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 ...
Discovery of Middle Permian volcanism in the Antalya Nappes, southern Turkey: tectonic significance and global meaning
Sahin, Nazif; Altıner, Demir; Ercengiz, M. Bulent (Informa UK Limited, 2012-09-01)
Detailed stratigraphic studies on the Middle-Upper Permian rocks of the Tahtalidag nappe (Antalya Nappes), largely exposed along the Guzelsu Corridor in central Taurides, have revealed the presence of basaltic volcanic rocks intercalated within the shallow-marine fossiliferous carbonate successions. Vitrophyric basaltic extrusions producing distinct pillows in the Kizilbag Formation severely dolomitized the associated carbonate rocks. The coeval Cukurkoy Formation, devoid of volcanic layers, is also exposed...
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...
