Journal ArticleDOI
Tethyan evolution of Turkey: A plate tectonic approach
TL;DR: The Karakaya marginal sea was already closed by earliest Jurassic times because early Jurassic sediments unconformably overlie its deformed lithologies as discussed by the authors, and it was closed by collision of the Bitlis-Poturge fragment with Arabia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genesis of collision volcanism in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey
Julian A. Pearce,John F. Bender,S. E. De Long,William S.F. Kidd,P.J. Low,Y. Güner,Fuat Şaroğlu,Yücel Yılmaz,S. Moorbath,J.G. Mitchell +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a large number of basaltic shield and fissure eruptions of transitional tholeiitic - alkaline composition were derived from the Arabia- Eurasia collision zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
New evidence and model on the evolution of the southeast Anatolian orogen
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the orogenic evolution of the southeast Anatolian Orogenic belt based mostly on new geologic data collected from its constituent tectonic units in the course of new mapping programs of the past decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
When did the western Anatolian grabens begin to develop
Yücel Yılmaz,Ş. Can Genç,Fevzi Gürer,Mustafa Bozcu,Kamil Yılmaz,Zekiye Karacık,Şafak Altunkaynak,Ali Elmas +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, new data have been collected from a mapping project in western Anatolia, which reveal that initially north-south trending graben basins were formed under an east-west extensional regime during Early Miocene times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonics of the Mediterranean Cimmerides: nature and evolution of the western termination of Palaeo-Tethys
TL;DR: The Cimmeride orogenic system was produced during the closure of Palaeo-Tethys, the original, triangular embayment of the Permo-Triassic Pangaea, and its immediate dependencies, and includes a multi-strand suture network that extends from the eastern Carpathians to the Pacific shores of Asia as discussed by the authors.
