Pattern of normal faulting in the Gediz Graben, SW Turkey Ciftci, N. Bozkurt; Bozkurt, Erdin (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-20) Hanging-wall deformation of the fault systems controlling the southern margin of the Gediz Graben were investigated separately within the Plio-Quaternary and Neogene (predominantly Miocene) deposits of the graben fill. Fault styles observed in both packages share many similarities in terms of geometry and comprise conjugate fault sets that show clustering of strike orientations predominantly around WNW-ESE but also SW-NE and NW-SE directions. The main difference between the two units is observable in terms ...
Constraints on the composition and thermal structure of the upper mantle beneath NW Turkey: Evidence from mantle xenoliths and alkali primary melts ALDANMAZ, ERCAN; Gourgaud, A; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01) Ultramafic xenoliths entrained in the Late Miocene alkali basalts and basanites from NW Turkey include refractory spinel-harzburgites and dunites accompanied by subordinate amount of spinel-lherzolites. Whole-rock major element and mineral chemical characteristics indicate that the xenoliths are mostly the solid residues of varying degrees of partial melting (similar to 3 to similar to 15%), but some have mineral chemical signatures reflecting processes of melt/rock interaction. The mineral compositions of ...
Zircon ages from the Beypazari granitoid pluton (north central Turkey): tectonic implications Speciale, Pamela A.; Catlos, Elizabeth J.; Yildiz, G. Okan; Shin, Timothy A.; Black, Karen N. (Informa UK Limited, 2012-09-01) The Beypazari granitoid is emplaced in a Late Cretaceous volcanic arc in north central Turkey and provides evidence for processes that occurred during the closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean. Zircons from its northern granodiorite and quartz monzonite exposure are dated in rock thin section and display characteristic igneous zoning in cathodoluminescence (CL). Its oldest Late Cretaceous ages (95.4 +/- 4.2-91.3 +/- 6.5 Ma, U-238/Pb-206, +/- 1 sigma) time early crystallization from rising melts, but inspection of...
High-altitude Plio-Quaternary fluvial deposits and their implication on the tilt of a horst, western Anatolia, Turkey Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Rojay, B (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-01) This study investigates the origin and regional tectonic implications of high-altitude Plio (?)-Quaternary fluvial deposits developed over the Bozdak horst which is an important structural element within the horst-graben system of western Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 23 deposits occur near the modem drainage divide comprising fluvial to occasionally lacustrine deposits. The deposits are all elongated in N-S direction with a width/length ratio of 1/10. The largest of them is of 13 km in length with a maximum...
Shallow and deep-seated regolith slides on deforested slopes in Canakkale, NW Turkey Ekinci, Yunus Levent; Turkes, Murat; DEMİRCİ, ALPER; ERGİNAL, AHMET EVREN (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01) This study deals with the stripping of regolith on a steep slope by surface wash and shallow landslides and a deep-seated landslide at a lower slope that took place on 17 February 2003 at the village of Mazilik, east of Canakkale, Turkey. Soil loss and shallow slides dominate on the deforested steep slopes in the study area and occur preferentially along slope-parallel sub-horizontal joint planes with clay coatings, particularly oxyhydroxides that are rich in Fe but poor in Mn as a result of weathering unde...
