The Datça Basin, characterized by the Datça Fault in the north, developed at early Pliocene as a half-graben, then became a graben in the late Pleistocene. Plio-Pleistocene units have been deposited unconformably on the Mesozoic carbonates and ophiolites. We conducted paleontological studies on the sediments of both terrestrial and marine environments to shed some light the marine-continental transitions in the Plio-Pleistocene deposits of Datça Basin. Three composite sections were sampled in the Yıldırımlı Formation. We considered the planktonic and benthic foraminiferal ratio (P/B ratio) for deriving paleobathymetry estimations, but the very shallow water depths prevented calculation. Fluvial dominated mixed environments may have been responsible for this absence of foraminifera. We also studied the mollusk fauna which indicates a shallow marine environment. In this case, ostracods, found in the washed samples, are getting more importance for further studies.

Revealing plio-pleistocene terrestrial-marine environmental transititons in Southwestern Anatolia by using magnetostratigraphy: first observations from Datça graben İnce, Meryem Dilan; Tosun, Levent; Uzel, Bora; Langereıs, Cor; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Özkaymak, Çağlar; Stoıca, Marıous ( TMMOB Jeoloji Mühendisleri Odası; 2019-02-01) In this study, it was aimed to show the Plio-Quaternary terrestrial and marine sediments deposited in the coasts of Southwestern Anatolia and the tectonic and global origin of those units that reveal the sea level changes by using integrated stratigraphic and structural geologic data. This stıdy comprise the results of the first data conducted in Datça, Bodrum, Söke and Germencik areas are selected in the scope of this study. In this presentation, first observations from Datça area will be discussed. The NW...
Late Cretaceous-Eocene Geological Evolution of the Pontides Based on New Stratigraphic and Palaeontologic Data Between the Black Sea Coast and Bursa (NW Turkey) Ozcan, Zahide; Okay, Aral; Özcan, Ercan; Hakyemez, Aynur; Altıner, Sevinç (2012-01-01) The Late Cretaceous-Eocene geological evolution of northwest Turkey between the Black Sea and Bursa was studied through detailed biostratigraphic characterization of eleven stratigraphic sections. The Upper Cretaceous sequence in the region starts with a major marine transgression and lies unconformably on a basement of Palaeozoic and Triassic rocks in the north (Istanbul-type basement) and on metamorphic rocks and Jurassic sedimentary rocks in the south (Sakarya-type basement). Four megasequences have been...
Characteristics of deep chlorophyll maximum in the Northeastern Mediterranean with respect to environmental conditions Ediger, D; Yılmaz, Ayşen (1996-12-01) The vertical distribution of chlorophyll-a was recorded throughout the northern part of the Levantine Basin of the eastern Mediterranean and was related to patterns of the physical dynamics for October 1991-March 1994 period. A well developed deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) was observed in the northern Levantine Basin (NLB), with concentrations greater than 1 mu g/L at depths ranging from 45 to 100 m on average. Chlorophyll-a concentrations ranged between 0.01 (in surface waters, Oct. 1991) and 3.07 mu g/L (...
A new set of overprinting slip-data along Manisa Fault in Aegean Extensional Province, Western Anatolia Tekin, Taner; Sançar, Taylan; Rojay, Fuat Bora (2022-05-23) Interplay between the dynamic effects of the northward subduction of the African plate beneath the Aegean continental fragment and the North Anatolian dextral strike slip fault to the north caused a complex large-scale extensional crustal deformational domain, named Aegean extensional province.The Gediz-Alaşehir Graben (GAG), being in that large scale extensional terrain, is a NW-SE trending extensional basin developed to the north of K. Menderes Graben (KMG). NW-SE trending Manisa fault is one of the impor...
Geochemical features of multi component mantle source domains beneath Central Anatolia Kürkçüoğlu, Biltan; Furman, Tanya; Pickard, Megan; Şen, Erdal; Hanan, Barry; Şen, Pınar; Sayıt, Kaan; Yürür, Mehmet Tekin (2016-05-16) Extensive volcanic activities were developed in Central Anatolia, due to dynamic nature o f the tectonic regime. Although the most of the volcanic zones are represented by major Stratovolcanoes, severe basaltic magmatism with lack of the central cones, were generated over all the Central Anatolia. In this study, we focus on Sivas mafic product s to shed more light on the mantle components, beneath the central Anatolia , that were not investigated in depth so far. Sivas mafic lavas are the mo...
