Metamorphites of Niğde Massif, which form the basis of the study area covering the Niğde vicinity in Central Anatolia, are composed of Late Devonian Gümüşler, Carboniferous-early Permian Kaleboynu late Permian Kızıldağ formation and unconformable Triassic-Late Cretaceous cover units from bottom to the top, which are separated from each other with unconformities. The Triassic succession (Söğütlüdere formation) of phyllite-marble-schist alternations with common amphibolite levels is first distinguished in this study, unconformably overlies the Paleozoic succession. Thick homogeneous marbles of Jurassic-Cretaceous period, is defined by quartzite at the bottom representing the unconformity at the base, is defined as the Kırtepe formation. The …

Geological Properties Of Güney Formation (Ereğli - Ulukışla Basin, Niğde), Ayfer Özdemi̇r, Nurettin Sonel
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The aim of this study to determine stratigraphic, sedimentological and petrographic characteristics of the Upper Paleocene - Lower Eocene Güney formation in the Ereğli - Ulukışla Basin based on the lithological and environmental interpretations related to petroleum source and reservoir rock properties of it. For this purpose, the geological characteristics of the Güney formation and its relations with other units were followed by field observations and the unit was investigated by making a stratigraphic cross section from bottom to top. In addition, during the field studies, four (4) scaled stratigraphic sections (OSK) were formed and fifty - two (52) sandstone …
Geology Of The Early Miocene Alaçamdağ (Dursunbey-Balikesi̇r) Magmatic Complex And Implications For The Western Anatolian Extensional Tectonics, Fuat Erkül, Sibel Tatar Erkül
Geology Of The Early Miocene Alaçamdağ (Dursunbey-Balikesi̇r) Magmatic Complex And Implications For The Western Anatolian Extensional Tectonics, Fuat Erkül, Sibel Tatar Erkül
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Extensional regime in western Anatolia caused development of metamorphic core complexes, NEand E-W-trending basins and emplacement of magmatic rocks since Late Oligocene and Early Miocene. The Alaçamdað magmatic complex, which is located to the west of the Simav metamorphic core complex, includes significant data that highlight the style of extensional regime in western Turkey. It consists of Early Miocene granitic intrusions and volcanic rocks with variable compositions ranging from basalt to rhyolite. The granitic intrusions that were emplaced into the basement rocks of the Menderes Massive and Ýzmir-Ankara Zone are divided into two facies based on their lithological and textural …
