EVIDENCE AGAINST THE CORE COVER INTERPRETATION OF THE SOUTHERN SECTOR OF THE MENDERES MASSIF, WEST TURKEY
Bozkurt, Erdin; WINCHESTER, JA (Wiley, 1993-01-01)
The Menderes Massif, in western Anatolia, has been described as a lithological succession comprising a basal 'Precambrian gneissic core of sedimentary origin' overlain in sequence by 'Palaeozoic schist' and 'Mesozoic-Cenozoic marble' forming the envelope. The boundary between core and schist envelope was interpreted as a major unconformity, the 'Supra-Pan-African unconformity'. By contrast, our field observations and geochemical data show that around the southern side of Besparmak Mountain, north of Selimiy...
Sub-ophiolite metamorphic rocks from NW Anatolia, Turkey
Onen, AP; Hall, R (Wiley, 2000-09-01)
The metamorphic rocks from near Kutahya in north-west Anatolia record different stages in the history of closure of the Neo-Tethyan Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan ocean. Sub-ophiolite metamorphic rocks within the Tavsanli zone are a tectonically composite sequence of quartz-mica schists, amphibole schists, amphibolites and garnet amphibolites. They show increasing metamorphic grade towards the base of the ophiolite. A first metamorphic event, typical of sub-ophiolite metamorphic sole rocks, was characterized by high...
SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF THE FAULT-CONTROLLED SUBMARINE-CANYON VALLEY SYSTEM ON THE SHELF AND UPPER SLOPE OF ANAMUR BAY, NORTHEASTERN MEDITERRANEAN-SEA
EDIGER, V; OKYAR, M; ERGIN, M (Elsevier BV, 1993-11-01)
High-resolution shallow seismic reflection (Uniboom) and echosounding profiles obtained on the shelf and upper slope areas of Anamur Bay (Turkey, northeastern Mediterranean) were studied together with previous data on the onshore geology of the area to investigate the origin and related seismic stratigraphy of the submarine Anamur Canyon. It was found that the main axial trend of the submarine Anamur Canyon is aligned with the offshore projection of the N-S orientated, onshore Anamur thrust fault of Late Cr...
GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RECENT SEDIMENTS FROM THE SEA OF MARMARA
BODUR, MN; ERGIN, M (Elsevier BV, 1994-07-01)
Six box-cores, one boomerang core and one hundred sixty-six surface sediment samples recovered in the Sea of Marmara were analyzed in an attempt to establish the main controls on distribution and origin of trace metals within the oxic to suboxic basin of this sea.
Reservoir heterogeneity of Ordovician sandstone reservoir (Bedinan Formation, SE Turkey): Diagenetic and sedimentological approachs
Yildiz, Gokay; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01)
The sandstone-bearing reservoir levels (Bedinan Formation) in the Diyarbakir Basin, SE Turkey show strong heterogeneity in porosity, permeability and capillary pressure, which influences oil production rates of the studied 6 wells and beclouds the prediction of hydrocarbon reserves. Therefore, comprehensive understanding of the sandstone reservoir characteristics has been necessitated to optimize its ultimate hydrocarbon recovery, maximize its lifetime and to make more accurate performance predictions for t...
