Hydrothermally originated Ahırözü kaolin deposits were developed within the contact of granite-serpentinite rocks in Ahırözü-Hamidiye villages, Mihalıççık, Eskişehir-Turkey. The purpose of this research is to investigate the mineralogy, geology and genesis of Ahırözü kaolin deposits by using petrographical analyses, chemical analyses (ICP-MS and ICP-ES), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) method, scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) analyses, stable isotope analyses (oxyhen/hydrogen) and fluid inclusion analyses. Experimental studies of CO2-H2O-serpentine based reactions were performed to understand the formation mechanism of listwanites occurred in the study area. Experiments were conducted at 25 ⁰C and 80 ⁰C with P (CO2) = 110 to 130 bar. The argillic alteration zone (Zone A) includes kaolinite, halloysite, natroalunite and accessory pyrite. The presence of K-Feldspar and graphic texture in the Zone A indicates that the protolith rock has a granitic origin. The propylitic alteration zone (Zone B) is mainly characterized by chlorite-smectite-illite and epidote. Zone C represents silica sinter formation. According to the fluid inclusion analyses, it has been obtained that the homogenization temperature (Th°C) varies between 126⁰C and 365⁰C and wt. % NaCl values change between 3.9- 6.2. Thus, it is indicated that these kaolin deposits have an epithermal hydrothermal origin. The rocks in the kaolin deposit are depleted in Rb and Pb while being enriched in Cs and U elements. Regarding to the stable isotope analyses, δD varies between -80.86 and -88.81 whereas δ18O values ranges from 5.03 to 8.73 which indicating the contribution of magmatic waters in the hydrothermal system.

Hydrothermal alteration products in the vicinity of the Ahirozu kaolin deposits, Mihaliccik-Eskisehir, Turkey Sayit, Isil Omeroglu; Günal Türkmenoğlu, Asuman; Sayin, S. Ali; Demirci, Cengiz (Mineralogical Society, 2018-06-01) The mineralogy, texture and composition of rocks associated with the kaolin deposits in the Ahirozu-Hamidiye-Ucbasli area, SE of Mihaliccik, Eskisehir, Turkey, were investigated. In the study area, Triassic, blue-green schists and serpentinized ultramafic rocks are exposed. Kaolinization occurs at the contact between a Triassic granitic intrusion and metamorphic rocks. Textural and mineralogical characteristics were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-r...
Structural interpretation of gabbroic rocks in Agacoren Granitoid, central Turkey: field observations and aeromagnetic data Kadioglu, Yk; Ates, A; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan (1998-03-01) Gabbroic rocks crop out commonly in different localities of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex and are interpreted by many researchers as the remnants of a Neotethyan ophiolitic suite now observed as roof-pendants in the granitoids of the complex. In this study, the structural position of the gabbroic rocks within one of the granitoids of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex, namely the Agacoren Granitoid, is determined by geological and aeromagnetic data from the central part of the pluton. The...
Evaluation of ecological changes in lake hazar (Elazig, Turkey) using diatom-based paleolimnological techniques Maraslioglu, Faruk; Soylu, Elif Neyran; Avşar, Ulaş; Hubert-Ferrari, Aurelia (2020-12-01) Sediment core samples (H002, H003, H005 and H006) recovered from the basin of Lake Hazar located in the South East Region of Turkey. Core sam¬ ples were collected from the four sampling stations by UWITEC corer to determine diatom flora distri¬ bution in Lake Hazar. Diatom counts and identifica¬ tions were made from the sediments sampled at 1-2 cm intervals. Total of 142 species of diatoms were recorded, most of them were pennate diatoms. Ulnaria ulna, Nitzschia gracilis, Synedra nana, and Cyclotella ocella...
Geology, geochemistry, and geochronology of Fe-oxide Cu (+/- Au) mineralization associated with Samli pluton, western Turkey Yılmazer, Erkan; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Kuşcu, İlkay; Lentz, David R. (2014-03-01) The Samli (Balikesir) Fe-oxide Cu (+/- Au) deposit, one of several iron (+ Cu +/- Au) deposits in western Turkey, is hosted by porphyritic rocks of the multi-phase Samli pluton and metapelitic-metadiabasic rocks of Karakaya Complex. Two successive mineralization events are recognized in the area as; i) early magnetite and sulfide and ii) late hematite-goethite-native copper (+/- Au). Alteration associated with the mineralization in Samli is characterized by four distinct mineralogical assemblages. They are,...
Sedimentary records of past earthquakes in Boraboy Lake during the last ca 600 years (North Anatolian Fault, Turkey) Avşar, Ulaş; De Batıst, Marc; Schmidt, Sabine; Fagel, Nathalie (2015-09-01) Multiproxy sedimentological analyses along 4.9 m-long sequence of Boraboy Lake, which is located on the central eastern part of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF), reveal the sedimentary traces of past large earthquakes in the region. The lake has a relatively large catchment area (10 km(2)) compared to its size (0.12 km(2)), which renders sedimentation sensitive to heavy rain/storm events. Accordingly, the background sedimentation, which is composed of faintly laminated reddish/yellowish brown clayey silt, is...
