Güney Menderes Masifi’nde üst düzeylerin güneye hareket ettiği normal bileşenli Güney Menderes makaslama zonunun (GMMZ) taban bloğunda yer alan ortognayslar ile onları yapısal olarak üzerleyen metasedimanlar lökogranit kütleleri tarafından kesilirler. Bu lökogranit kütlelerinden birisi geç Orta Eosen (U-Pb zirkon yaşı) yaşındadır. Bu veri GMMZ’ndaki sinorojenik normal hareketin başlama yaşı olarak yorumlanmıştır. En yaşlı uyumsuz sedimanlar masifin erken Miyosen’de yüzeye çıktığını göstermektedir. Ortognasylar üstten normal bileşenli GMMS, alttan ise bir bindirme fayı (Büyük Menderes bindirme fayı, BMBF) ile sınırlanırlar; bu kayaçlar üst düzeylerin KKD’ya hareket ettiği sıkışmalı üst düzeylerin GGB’ya hareketini veren genişlemeli fabrikler olmak üzere iki farklı yapı sunarlar. Bu yapıların dağılımı ve ilişkileri ile ArAr mika yaşları iki farklı yöne hareket veren fabriklerin mekan ve zamanda birlikte geliştiklerini önermektedir. Dolayısıyla, yapısal ve jeokronolojik veriler ışığında: (i) normal bileşenli GMMZ’nun yeniden hareket kazanmış bir bindirme fayı, (ii) ortognayslar ise yeniden mobilize olmuş Prekambriyen granitlerinden oluşan ve kuzeye doğru hareket eden bir ekstrüzyon kaması şeklinde yorumlanmıştır. Bu modelde, ortognayslar bir gnays domunun yüzeydeki çekirdeğini temsil ederler.

Geochemistry and Tectonic Implications of Leucogranites and Tourmalines of the Southern Menderes Massif, Southwest Turkey
Bozkurt, Erdin; Mittwede, Steven K.; Ottley, Christopher J. (Informa UK Limited, 2006-10)
Granitoid rocks of the southern Menderes Massif, SW Turkey include widespread possibly Ediacaran high-grade granitic orthogneisses and younger (Tertiary) sheets, sills and/or dikes of variably deformed tourmaline-bearing leucogranites. The latter are confined to the immediate footwall of the regional-scale ductile southern Menderes shear zone. Although both sets of granitoid rocks are essentially calc-alkaline and peraluminous, the syn- to post-collisional tourmaline-bearing leucogranites are chemically dis...
Granitoid rocks of the southern Menderes Massif (southwestern Turkey): field evidence for Tertiary magmatism in an extensional shear zone
Bozkurt, Erdin (2004-02-01)
Recent field campaign in the southern Menderes Massif in southwestern Turkey revealed that the socalled 'core of the massif comprises two distinct types of granitoid rocks: an orthogneiss (traditionally known as augen gneisses) and leucocratic metagranite, where the latter is intrusive into the former and the structurally overlying 'cover' schists. These differ from one another in intensity of deformation, degree of metamorphism and kinematics. The orthogneiss display penetrative top-to-the-N-NNE fabrics fo...
Palaeoenvironmental and chronological constraints on the Tuglu Formation (Cankiri Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey)

The Cankiri Basin, located in the northern part of the Central Anatolian Plateau, is a large Tertiary basin where thick Miocene to Quaternary continental sediments overlay the Cretaceous-Tertiary units. This investigation focuses on the Tuglu Formation, an Upper Miocene succession mainly composed of dark grey silty and organic rich clays. The type section of Tuglu has been sampled for an array of multidisciplinary analyses. The palaeontological proxies included ostracod, foraminifer, nannoplankton, pollen, ...
SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY AND LATE QUATERNARY SEDIMENTS IN INNER AND MID-SHELF AREAS OF EASTERN MERSIN BAY, NORTHEASTERN MEDITERRANEAN-SEA
ERGIN, M; OKYAR, M; TIMUR, K (Elsevier BV, 1992-02-29)
High-resolution shallow-seismic reflection (Uniboom) profiles obtained in inner and mid-shelf areas of eastern Mersin Bay (Turkey, northeastern Mediterranean) show that the sedimentary column comprises two major and distinct lithological sequences (C and B) separated by a reflector (R) which is interpreted as the pre-Holocene surface. The upper sedimentary sequence (C) is thought to represent roughly the Holocene and is characterized by parallel/divergent to sigmoidal reflection patterns above (Unit 1) and ...
GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANITOIDS ALONG THE WESTERN MARGIN OF THE CENTRAL ANATOLIAN CRYSTALLINE COMPLEX AND THEIR TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS
AKIMAN, O; ERLER, A; GONCUOGLU, MC; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; GEVEN, A; TURELI, TK; KADIOGLU, YK (1993-12-01)
The closely related assemblage of igneous and metamorphic rocks that lie within a triangular area approximately bounded by the Tuzgolu Fault, the Ecemis Fault and the Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture and between the lines connecting Ankara, Sivas and Nigde is called the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC). The granitoids cropping out within the CACC can be divided areally into three groups: (1) a large number of individual small plutons which form an arcuate set and curve from NE-SW to NW-SE and extend...
