TLDR
The lower pliocene volcanic rocks of the Golcuk area of SW Turkey exhibit alkaline major element trends with a general potassic character as mentioned in this paper, and they contain high amounts of LILE (Ba, Sr, Rb and K), LREE, and Zr.

Ultrapotassic Mafic Rocks as Geochemical Proxies for Post-collisional Dynamics of Orogenic Lithospheric Mantle: the Case of Southwestern Anatolia, Turkey

TL;DR: In this article, the Menderes Massif has been studied for lamproitic volcanic rock occurrences of high-Mg ultrapotassic affinity, showing increasingly younger ages ranging from 20 to 4 Ma.

Geochemical and temporal evolution of Cenozoic magmatism in western Turkey: Mantle response to collision, slab break-off, and lithospheric tearing in an orogenic belt

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that post-collisional magmatism in western Anatolia began in the Eocene, and has occurred in discrete pulses throughout the Cenozoic as it propagated from north to south, producing volcano-plutonic associations with varying chemical compositions.

Pb–Nd–Sr isotope and trace element geochemistry of Quaternary extension-related alkaline volcanism: a case study of Kula region (western Anatolia, Turkey)

TL;DR: In this paper, the source characteristics of the Kula lavas, rare earth elements as well as Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic compositions were determined, and the typically silica-understandably, alkaline lavas of Kula are distinguished in three different sequences, namely Burgaz, Elekcitepe and Divlittepe, with a range of basanite, tephrite and phonotephrite compositions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seismic structure, crustal architecture and tectonic evolution of the Anatolian-African Plate Boundary and the Cenozoic Orogenic Belts in the Eastern Mediterranean Region

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the uppermost mantle is anomalously hot and thin, consistent with the existence of a shallow asthenosphere beneath the collapsing Anatolian orogenic belts and widespread volcanism.

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.
