Tethyan sutures of northern Turkey
Aral I. Okay,Okan Tüysüz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the two main Tethyan sutures of Turkey, the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan and the Intra-Pontide suture, are reviewed through several well-studied transects crossing the suture regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diamond from the Dabie Shan Metamorphic Rocks and Its Implication for Tectonic Setting
TL;DR: The diamonds and diamondiferous rocks of Dabie Shan are interpreted to be the products of ultrahigh pressure metamorphism in the und�rthrust basement of the Yangtze continental plate during the early Mesozoic, at greater than 4.0 gigapascals and 900�C.

Laurent Jolivet,Claudio Faccenna,Benjamin Huet,Loïc Labrousse,Laetitia Le Pourhiet,Olivier Lacombe,Emmanuel Lecomte,E. Burov,Yoann Denèle,Jean-Pierre Brun,Melody Philippon,Anne Paul,G.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the geodynamic evolution of the Aegean-Anatolia region and discuss strain localisation there over geological times, and they favour a model where slab retreat is the main driving engine, and successive slab tearing episodes are the main causes of this stepwise strain localization and the inherited heterogeneity of the crust is a major factor for localising detachments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematic history of the opening of the Black Sea and its effect on the surrounding regions
TL;DR: In this paper, a back-arc rift in the Cretaceous by tearing a Hercynian continental sliver, the Istanbul zone, from the present-day Odessa shelf is described.
