Abstract The Pontides in northern Turkey constituted part of the southern active margin of Eurasia during the Mesozoic. In the Early Cretaceous, a large submarine turbidite fan …
Abstract In Central and Western Anatolia two continent‐derived massifs simultaneously underthrusted an oceanic lithosphere in the Cretaceous and ended up with very contrasting …
Formation of new subduction zones represents one of the cornerstones of plate tectonics, yet both the kinematics and geodynamics governing this process remain enigmatic. A major …
Magmatic arcs are zones of high heat flow; however, examples of metamorphic belts formed under magmatic arcs are rare. In the Pontides in northern Turkey, along the southern active …
The Lower to Middle Jurassic Mudurnu formation of the Sakarya Zone (Northern Turkey) was deposited in an extensional basin. This unit crops out along the southern Pontide range …
The remnants of the Neotethyan Izmir–Ankara Ocean, the main branch of Neotethys in the eastern Mediterranean are represented by the Dagküplü Melange Complex in Central …
ABSTRACT The EW–trending Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan suture zone in northern Anatolia represents a major Neotethyan suture zone separating the Eurasian and Gondwana …
We report detrital zircon ages from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian–Maastrichtian) turbiditic sandstones from the Pontides and the Anatolide–Tauride Block, which were …
