Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Petrified wood samples are found within terrestrial sediments belonging to the Late Oligocene-Early Miocene Danişmen Formation in Malkara-Keşan located in the southwest of the Thrace Basin. The petrified wood in both regions is usually silicified and partly coalified. The silicification of the Tertiary wood in the Malkara-Keşan region is associated with volcanic activity and coeval sedimentation. Thin sections from petrified wood samples were taken as transverse, tangential, and radial sections. The mineralogicalpetrographic- botanical studies were carried out under a polarizing and botanical microscope. Opal-moganite-chalcedony-quartz, which are different polymorphs of silica, were detected under the microscope in the petrified wood. Results …

Updated Geochemical And Geothermometry Study On Ömer-Gecek Geothermal Area (Afyonkarahisar/Turkey), Can Başaran, Yusuf Ulutürk, Ahmet Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Ömer-Gecek region, one of the most critical geothermal areas of Afyonkarahisar, together with Western Anatolia, serves as a model for the integrated use of geothermal waters. As a result of the analysis made on the samples collected from the newly drilled wells, the chemical composition of the Ömer-Gecek geothermal waters, with a max temperature of 125 °C, has been determined as Na-Cl. The primary hydrochemical process affecting the chemical composition is silicate weathering. All the applied geothermometer methods showed that the water's maximum reservoir temperature was 120-130 °C. The calcite, dolomite, and aragonite minerals tend to precipitate. When compared …

Growth Of The Imbrication Zone Along The Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt: Evidencefrom Fission Track Thermochronology From Gölbaşı Region (Se Turkey), Yusuf Topak
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
One of the major components of continental collision zones is their imbricated zones. Such a zone along the Southeast Anatolian Orogenic Belt (SAOB) is solely controlled by a still-active convergence and accretion system between the Anatolian Plate and Arabian platform since at least Late Cretaceous. The zone is characterized by NEE/SWW-trending, northward-dipping thrust slices that are squeezed between the Tauride Block to the north and the Arabian platform to the south. The units cropping out within the zone comprise Neo-Tethysrelated magmatic, ophiolitic, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks with Late Cretaceous to Miocene formation/metamorphism ages. The Karanlıkdere granitoid intrudes into Late Cretaceous …

The Active Fault Pattern Based On Morphotectonic And Structural Data In The South Ofulubat Lake And The Susurluk Valley Along The Southern Branch Of North Anatolian Faultzone: A Criticism Of The Bend Model In Northwest Anatolia, Gürol Seyi̇toğlu, Korhan Esat
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Field observations and morphotectonic evaluations on the south of Ulubat Lake and the Susurluk valley show that the dominant active fault pattern consists of northeast-southwest and east northeast-west southwest right-lateral faults and northwestsoutheast normal faults developing between these strike-slip faults. We redefined the active faults in the south of Ulubat Lake and discovered that these northeast-southwest right-lateral faults control the route of Susurluk River. Based on these discoveries and evaluations, we can claim that the "bend model" previously proposed for the region is not valid, as seen in the Mustafakemalpaşa Fault and Balıkesir-Kepsut Fault examples. Instead, we suggest that the …

Wide-Area Ground Deformation Monitoring In Geothermal Fields In Western Turkey, Gökhan Aslan, Hakki Aydin, Zi̇yadi̇n Çakir
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The large-scale production and injection of geothermal fluids induce pressure, volume, and temperature gradient changes in the subsurface, which may result in surface deformation as well. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a promising utility for monitoring ground surface deformation and inferring subsurface reservoir operations that are difficult to observe directly. This study provides the first wide-area InSAR-derived long-term ground deformation across major geothermal fields in western Turkey. It aims to identify ground deformation hotspots within the geothermal exploitation sites and analyze their relationship with energy production and pumping. In the present study, the whole 2014?2020 Sentinel 1-A and 1-B …

Stratigraphic Correlation Of The Givetian (Late Middle Devonian) Deposits In Qujing,Yunnan, Southwestern China And The Paleogeographic Implications, Jianhua Wang, Yunchuan Mi, Xiaorou Ma, Yukun Bi
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Detailed description of spatio-temporal framework of fossil-bearing strata is of fundamental significance for understanding the evolution of organisms and regional tectonics. The Qujing and Haikou formations are two lithological units exposed in eastern Yunnan, southwestern China, and both bear rich fossils indicative of a Middle Devonian age, while their relationship or lateral correlation remains unclear. Based on detailed observations of outcrops of these two formations in Qujing, eastern Yunnan, and as well as their typical rock characteristics and fossil contents, we propose that the two formations are basically contemporaneous heterotopic facies. From north to south of the Qujing area, the …

Walkaway Vertical Seismic Profiling (Wvsp) Modeling And Imaging Study Along Faultedcoal Seams Over A High Velocity Limestone Model: A Synthetic Study, Cemal Erdemi̇r
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The problem of collecting reflection data from the layers below a high velocity layer (HVL) and imaging those layers accurately is solved using walkaway vertical seismic profiling (WVSP) technique. The procedure is shown on a dataset from a model of highly faulted, thin-bedded coal layers separated by a high velocity layer of limestone. By locating the receivers above, in, and below the HVL, the reflections are expected to be recorded locally in situ in the borehole below the HVL before they travel back to the surface as in the case of surface seismic. The imaging results obtained from the model …

Petrology, Geochemistry, And Geodynamic Implications Of The Ediacaran Volcanism Of The Southwestern Edge Of The Saghro Massif (Eastern Anti-Atlas, Morocco), Rachid Zahour, Ghalem Zahour, Hassan El Hadi, Youssef Zerhouni, Zouhair Baroudi, Mounia Khoukhouchi
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The southwestern edge of the Saghro Massif experienced during the Ediacaran period an intense volcanic activity represented by basaltic andesites and acid rocks with ignimbritic dominance. The chemical characteristics of these rocks correspond to those of calc-alkaline orogenic magmatism related to a subduction zone. The genesis of these two rock groups does not seem to be controlled by the fractional crystallization process as a factor controlling their evolution. Partial melting of a lithospheric mantle still influenced by the Pan-African orogeny and a contaminated constituent of the lower continental crust is a likely source of the basaltic andesites. Ignimbrites represent the …

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Ediacaran to Early Cambrian plate tectonics was dominated by a full dispersal of the supercontinent Rodinia and the subsequent amalgamation of Gondwana. There is a consensus that the final assembly of Gondwana was not completed until the Early Cambrian. Prior to the final assembly, however, one major uncertainty remains on the quantitative paleogeography: the mainland of Gondwana was plausibly positioned at either a high or low latitude at a single time instant to meet the dual-latitude ('high-latitude' and 'low-latitude') options of Laurentia and the requirement of

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
In this study, we present pollen records together with a multiproxy analysis from a sediment core collected from the Güllük Bay (Bargilya Cove, Muğla, SW Turkey), covering the last 400 years. Pistachio shrubland was occupying around the Güllük Bay between 1613 and 1741 AD. However, after 1741 AD, the vegetation canopy suddenly changed and Turkish pine (Pinus brutia) was established. This supports that the main factor affecting the expansion of Pistacia lentiscus was precipitation rather than temperature after 1741 AD. This change is also indicated by high Sr-Ca values, reflecting arid conditions. Two anthropogenic phases developed in the region. The …
A Preliminary Account On Devonian Trilobites From Arabian Plate, Se Turkey, Catherine Cronier, İzzet Hoşgör
A Preliminary Account On Devonian Trilobites From Arabian Plate, Se Turkey, Catherine Cronier, İzzet Hoşgör
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Recently, several Devonian localities and the related biota occurring from the southeastern Turkey were reinvestigated. Although, the Hakkari-Çukurca and the Diyarbakır-Hazro areas of the Arabian Plate are considered as an important source of the Devonian macrofossils from the north Arabian sector of Gondwana, the existing record of Devonian trilobites in these regions was hitherto unknown. We here report and illustrate for the first time Lower and Middle Devonian trilobites represented by three proetid pygidia and one calymenid pygidium. The morphological features of these pygidia suggest that they can be assigned to undetermined species of Gravicalymene (Calymenidae) and Podoliproetus (Proetidae), two …
