The Segment Structure Of Southern Branch Of The North Anatolian Fault And Paleoseismological Behaviour Of The Gemli̇k Fault, Nw Anatolia, Selim Özalp, Ömer Emre, Ahmet Doğan

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The North Anatolian Fault (NAF), which is an intra-continental transform fault, is divided
into two branches as Northern and Southern branches in Marmara Region. The southern
branch which separates from each other by rightward stepovers between Bandırma and
Dokurcun valley is formed by three main fault segments as Geyve, İznik and Gemlik from
East to West. The length of fault segments ranges between 40 and 57 km and GPS data in
Southern branch propose a 5 mm/year slip rate. Two surface faulting events were observed
during paleoseismological excavations which had been carried out on 40 km long Gemlik

First Determination Of Rudists (Bivalvia) From Ne Iraq: Systematic Palaeontology And Palaeobiogeography, Sacit Özer, Kamal Haji Karim, Dereen Mohamad Sadiq

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The Maastrichtian Aqra Formation around Mawat-Chwarta (Sulaimaniya city) in NE Iraq consists mainly of coarse grained detrital limestone, locally containing terrigenous clastics, and is characterized by abundant rudists in life position. The rudist biostromes are very common in the formation and benthic foraminifers, gastropods and non-rudist bivalves with scarcer echinoderms and solitary corals are associated with the rudists. This first determination of rudists from NE Iraq recognizes the following species, Dictyoptychus aff. morgani, Sauvagesia somalica, Hippurites cornucopiae, Praeradiolites subtoucasi and Lapeirousia jouanneti, as well as some indeterminable radiolitid sections. This rudist fauna is assigned to the Hippurites cornucopiae interval zone …

The Airborne Magnetic Signature Of Gökova Gulf, Uğur Akin, Ahmet Üçer

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Gökova gulf situated in the Aegian extension zone in Turkey has been considered very interesting for numerous research workers. Gökova gulf is located in the N-S regional extentional tectonic regime. N-S extension of western Anatolia initiated development of E-W extended grabens here. The bay extends 100 km E-W and 25 km N-S directions. Datça peninsula is in the south, Bodrum peninsula is located in the north of the Gökova gulf. In recent years ‘Full Tensor Gradiometer Potential Field’ methods (FTG) has found a practice area in between the gravimetric and magnetic methods. In the past as it was in the …

Original Findings On The Ore-Bearing Facies Of Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Deposits In The Eastern Black Sea Region (Ne Turkey), M.Kemal Revan, Yurdal Genç, V. Valery Maslennikov, Taner Ünlü, Okan Deli̇baş, Semi Hamzaçebi̇

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

In the massive sulphide deposits of the eastern Black Sea region, there are ore facies and ore-bearing sedimentary facies. The former are subdivided into hydrothermal-metasomatic, seafloor hydrothermal, and biological facies. Hydrothermal-metasomatic facies refer to sub-seafloor processes and include network-disseminated, massive vein, and massive lens facies. The precipitation of sulphide minerals within pre-existing volcano-sedimentary rocks occurs largely beneath the seafloor, and these ores form an important component of some deposits. The term seafloor hydrothermal facies refers to sulphide accumulation on the seafloor and is characterised by hydrothermal chimneys and clastic sulphide ores. Clastic sulphide ores can be subdivided into proximal and …

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The volcanosedimentary Yolüstü formation which outcrops in the vicinity of Hınıs Town, the southeast of Erzurum City, consists of conglomerate, marl, agglomerate, claystone, tuffite, fragmented travertine limestone with fragments of sand – pebble - plant, lacustrine limestone and tuffaceous – clayey limestone. In this formation, carefully selected 3 measured stratigraphic sections were taken at levels in which the lithology of hard travertine limestones with plant fragments and soft tuffaceous – clayey limestone are present. Washed samples which had been taken from these sections were studied and assessed, and then ostracods reflecting freshwater and brackish water environments were detected. In the …

Petrogenetic Characteristics Of Oyaca – Kedi̇kayasi – Boyalik Adakites In Sw Ankara (Central Anatolia, Turkey): Evidence For Slab Melt Metasomatism, Pınar Şen, Erdal Şen

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The Early Miocene Oyaca, Kedikayası and Boyalık dacites, situated approximately 50-60 km southwest of Ankara have affinities similar to adakitic rocks. They have porphyritic texture with a variable amount of plagioclase feldspar, hornblende and lesser biotite phenocrysts and a groundmass of plagioclase and quartz microcrysts. They have high Sr/Y (55-79 ppm) and (La/Yb)n (21-32 ppm) ratios, and low Y (10-19 ppm) and heavy rare earth element contents. According to their SiO2 (62.3-69.70 % wt.) and MgO (0.62-2.23 % wt) contents, they are referred to as high silica adakites, indicating the effects of slab-derived melts in their genesis. The adakites in …

A New Age Finding In The Central Sakarya Region (Nw Turkey), Mehmet Fuat Uğuz

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The existence of a metamorphic basement cut by granitoids is known in the Central Sakarya region of northwest Turkey according to the previous studies. Over this metamorphic basement, there is a Liassic unit which contains ammonite, brachiopod and some benthic foraminifers and has a sequence starting with fluvial deposits at the base and grading into coastal, subtidal and shallow marine sediment character towards the top in the vicinity of Sarıcakaya district, Eskişehir City. At different levels of this unit which is called as the “Kapıkaya Formation”, the Campanian age fossils such as; Ceratolithoides aculeus (Stradner), Pervilithus varius Crux, Watznaueria barnesae …
