Mediterranean extension and the Africa‐Eurasia collision
Laurent Jolivet,Claudio Faccenna +1 more
TL;DR: A number of tectonic events occurred contemporaneously in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East 30-25 Myr ago as discussed by the authors, which are contemporaneous to or immediately followed a strong reduction of the northward absolute motion of Africa.

The circum-Mediterranean anorogenic Cenozoic igneous province
Michele Lustrino,Marjorie Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of published and new major and trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data (more than 7800 samples) for the magmatic rocks, a common sub-lithospheric mantle source component is identified for most of the region.

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.

Ultrapotassic Mafic Rocks as Geochemical Proxies for Post-collisional Dynamics of Orogenic Lithospheric Mantle: the Case of Southwestern Anatolia, Turkey
Dejan Prelević,Dejan Prelević,Cüneyt Akal,Stephen F. Foley,Rolf L. Romer,Andreas Stracke,P. van den Bogaard +6 more
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.

An active bivergent rolling-hinge detachment system: Central Menderes metamorphic core complex in western Turkey
TL;DR: In this article, two symmetrically arranged detachment systems delimit the central Menderes metamorphic core complex and define a bivergent continental breakaway zone in the Anatolide belt of western Turkey.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.

Subcommission on geochronology: Convention on the use of decay constants in geo- and cosmochronology
R.H. Steiger,E. Jäger +1 more
TL;DR: The IUGS Subcommission on Geochronology (FOOTNOTE 4) as discussed by the authors recommended the adoption of a standard set of decay constants and isotopic abundances in isotope geology.

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.
