Characteristics and geochemistry of Precambrian ophiolites and related volcanics from the Istanbul-Zonguldak Unit Northwestern Anatolia Turkey: following the missing chain of the Precambrian South European suture zone to the east
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science Bv, 2004)The Precambrian metamorphic basement of the Istanbul-Zonguldak Unit (IZU) NW Anatolia Turkey is represented by the Sunnice Group composed essentially of four different metamorphic assemblages: (1) Cele metaophiolite (2) Yellice metavolcanics (3) Demirci metamorphics and (4) Dirgine metagranite. The field relations and structural characteristics of these units were studied and representative geochemical analyses of Cele metaophiolite and related volcanics were obtained from the Sunnice Almacik and ...

Development of an oblique subduction zone - Tectonic evolution of the tethys suture zone in southeast Turkey
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(V H Winston & Son Inc, 2003)The Southeast Anatolian orogen part of the Mediterraneari-Himalayan orogenic belt may be divided into three approximately E-W-trending zones. From south to north they are the Arabian platform an imbricated zone and a nappe zone. The eastern pail of the Arabian platform includes a lower Paleozoic to lower Miocene sedimentary sequence and ophiolitic rocks that were obducted on the platform during Late Cretaceous time. Also in the eastern part of the nappe zone consisting of lower and upper nappe ...
