Antique Quarries Of Marmor Troadense (Nw Turkey): Insights From Field Mapping And Absolute Dating, Enver Vural Yavuz
Antique Quarries Of Marmor Troadense (Nw Turkey): Insights From Field Mapping And Absolute Dating, Enver Vural Yavuz
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
In this study, we present new field and chronological data from 2 antique quarries of marmor troadense (Kestanbol quartz-monzonite) in northwestern Turkey. Marmor troadense has been mined and the building stones have been exported all over the Mediterranean region since approximately 2500 years ago. Analysis of 11 samples from the quarried bedrock for cosmogenic ^{10}Be showed that the landscape is so old that the inheritance obscured the absolute dating of the operation periods. Nonetheless, ^{14}C analysis of 4 charcoal samples from the sediments covering the ruins of Alexandria Troas indicated that these quarries stopped operating no later than 395 AD. …
Bicoelia Corticifera, A New Inozoid Sponge From The Upper Triassic (Norian) Reef Boulders Of The Central Taurids (Southern Turkey), Baba Senowbari-Daryan, Michael Link
Bicoelia Corticifera, A New Inozoid Sponge From The Upper Triassic (Norian) Reef Boulders Of The Central Taurids (Southern Turkey), Baba Senowbari-Daryan, Michael Link
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Upper Triassic Norian reef boulders, exposed in a locality in the Central Taurids, southern Turkey, yielded a high number of hypercalcified sponges, including Sphinctozoans, Inozoans, Spongiomorphids, and Chaetetids. The reef boulders are exposed near the fountain Tavuk Çeşme, located at the road leading from the town of Aksu to Yenişarbademli. Geologically this locality belongs to the Anamas Akseki Autochthon. In this paper a new inozoan sponge, Bicoelia corticifera nov. sp., is described from Tavuk Çeşme. It is a cylindrical and unbranched sponge, found in several thin sections. The sponge is characterized by 2 axial spongocoels, and the sponge wall is …
A Microscopic Approach To The Pedogenic Formation Of Palygorskite Associated With Quaternary Calcretes Of The Adana Area, Southern Turkey, Meryem Yeşi̇lot Kaplan, Muhsi̇n Eren, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r, Seli̇m Kapur, Jennifer Huggett
A Microscopic Approach To The Pedogenic Formation Of Palygorskite Associated With Quaternary Calcretes Of The Adana Area, Southern Turkey, Meryem Yeşi̇lot Kaplan, Muhsi̇n Eren, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r, Seli̇m Kapur, Jennifer Huggett
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Quaternary calcretes in the Adana area (southern Turkey) are widespread and occur in a variety of forms such as nodular, columnar/tubular, fracture-infill, laminated hardpan, and conglomeratic crusts. Palygorskite associated with calcrete nodules, tubes, and fracture-infills in the columnar horizon and adjacent host-rock mudstones suggests a cogenetic formation. The Beta-fabric (biogenic) constituents and stable isotope values of calcretes support a pedogenic origin for calcretes and also palygorskite. Extensions of palygorskite fibre and fibre bundles from euhedral to subhedral calcite crystals in calcretes and from smectite flakes in adjacent host-rock mudstone suggest an authigenic origin related to calcretisation in which precipitation and …
Quaternary Travertine Ridges In The Lake Urmia Area: Active Extension In Nw Iran, Mohammad Mohajjel, Karim Taghipour
Quaternary Travertine Ridges In The Lake Urmia Area: Active Extension In Nw Iran, Mohammad Mohajjel, Karim Taghipour
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Lake Urmia area is surrounded by several major active oblique-slip faults with dextral and normal offsets. Extensive travertine ridges were produced along the E-W up to NW-SE trending extension fractures in the Lake Urmia area, NW Iran. These fractures are parallel to subparallel with abundant normal faults. Pliocene-Quaternary volcanic domes occur in the area and their activities tend toward apparent distinction between colored travertine layers and ridges. Two different modes of banded travertine within the fissures and layered travertine on the surface are observed. Some banded travertines are not vertical and obviously were tilted. Layered travertines were cut, rotated, …
Carbonate Sealing And Its Controlling Factors: Cap Rock And Inner Barrier Layers Of Yingshan Formation On Tazhong Northern Slope, Tarim Basin, Xiaodong Lan, Xiuxiang Lu
Carbonate Sealing And Its Controlling Factors: Cap Rock And Inner Barrier Layers Of Yingshan Formation On Tazhong Northern Slope, Tarim Basin, Xiaodong Lan, Xiuxiang Lu
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Yingshan Formation, located on the Tazhong Northern Slope, contains oil- and gas-rich layers with the reserves of about 700 × 10^6 TOE. The high-resistivity inner layers isolate the hydrocarbon bearing zones and form the sequential sets of reservoir bed-seal assemblages in a vertical direction within the Yingshan Formation, which is directly bound above by a micritic carbonate cap rock that is overlain by the 3rd to 5th members of the Lianglitag Formation. The sealing capability of the cap rock and inner barrier layers was evaluated macroscopically and microscopically in terms of the core breakthrough pressure and thin-section identification. The …
Alteration Mineral Mapping With Aster Data By Integration Of Coded Spectral Ratio Imaging And Som Neural Network Model, Mohammad Hassan Tayebi, Majid Hashemi Tangestani, Robert Keller Vincent
Alteration Mineral Mapping With Aster Data By Integration Of Coded Spectral Ratio Imaging And Som Neural Network Model, Mohammad Hassan Tayebi, Majid Hashemi Tangestani, Robert Keller Vincent
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
This study applied coded spectral ratio imaging and a self-organizing map (SOM) neural network model for subpixel classification of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data to map alteration minerals of the Masahim volcano, SE Iran. Spectra of samples were measured using a FieldSpec spectroradiometer, and were interpreted for finding key alteration minerals. Key minerals including sericite and kaolinite were selected. Thirty-six nonreciprocal spectral ratios of 9 ASTER reflective bands were created. Each spectral parameter (of 9 spectral bands and 36 spectral ratios) for the field and library mineral spectra was divided into deciles. Each decile of spectral …
Utilization Of Petrographic Analysis For Determination Of Petroleum Coke Mixtures, Selami̇ Toprak, Emi̇ne Sütcü, Fatma Jale Gülen
Utilization Of Petrographic Analysis For Determination Of Petroleum Coke Mixtures, Selami̇ Toprak, Emi̇ne Sütcü, Fatma Jale Gülen
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
This study was carried out on mostly imported, processed petrocokes, which are also commercially known as petcoke or petroleum coke. Petrocoke is imported in great amounts and is occasionally consumed domestically without conscientious thought. It is not a well-known material, though there is an idea of its genesis. The samples, their analysis, and their images are essential to be kept in mind for further investigations, since it is not an environmentally friendly material. Petrographic and chemical analyses were conducted on all samples. Trace element and FT-IR analyses were made on a few representative samples. It is possible to distinguish petrocokes …
Bramatherium (Artiodactyla, Ruminantia, Giraffidae) From The Middle Siwaliks Of Hasnot, Pakistan: Biostratigraphy And Palaeoecology, Muhammad Akbar Khan, Muhammad Akhtar, Ammara Irum
Bramatherium (Artiodactyla, Ruminantia, Giraffidae) From The Middle Siwaliks Of Hasnot, Pakistan: Biostratigraphy And Palaeoecology, Muhammad Akbar Khan, Muhammad Akhtar, Ammara Irum
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
We describe here new remains of the giraffid Bramatherium, from the late Miocene-early Pliocene of Hasnot, northern Pakistan. The fossil giraffid material from Hasnot represents 2 taxa of Bramatherium, B. megacephalum and B. grande. The Hasnot locality is characterised by high proportions of ruminants, namely Boselaphini, Antilopini, Sivatheriinae, Cervini, Dorcatherium, and Dorcabune. The Hasnot fossil ruminant assemblage is fairly typical for the Siwalik province and comparisons with the Greco-Iranian-Afghan and African palaeobiological provinces indicate a late Miocene-early Pliocene age. It is suggested that local Hasnot palaeoenvironments comprised wetlands to woodland biomes, perhaps devoid of expansive dense forests.
Assessment Of The Perchertal Avalanche In Tyrol, Austria, Tayfun Kurt
Assessment Of The Perchertal Avalanche In Tyrol, Austria, Tayfun Kurt
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The present study has been conducted to analyze the Perchertal avalanche area near Bärenkopf Mountain, which has several avalanche-prone areas on its slopes, within the area of Pertisau, Tyrol, in Austria. The main focus is on identifying the characteristics of the avalanche process itself to determine the potential risk to endangered objects, which include an important road and a hotel. Another focus is to evaluate the current local hazard map. Based on the dynamic avalanche models (Samos-AT, Ramms), several important action parameters such as impact pressure, avalanche velocity, and run-out length of the Perchertal avalanche track are presented and discussed. …

Seismic Hazard Assessment Of Turkey By Statistical Approaches, Serpi̇l Ünal, Sali̇h Çelebi̇oğlu, Bülent Özmen
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
In this study, 2 probabilistic methods are presented for seismic hazard assessment in Turkey: Markov chains based on modeling the transition probabilities of states (related to the presence or absence of the earthquakes having magnitude M >= 4 during the time interval \Deltat = 0.07 years in each region of Turkey located between 36°N and 42°N and 26°E and 45°E), and the Poisson model, used for computing occurrence probability and recurrence periods of earthquakes. In particular, it should be stated that in this study, our purpose is not to compare the results obtained from these 2 methods. The main purpose …

New Fossils Of Gaindatherium (Rhinocerotidae, Mammalia) From The Middle Miocene Of Pakistan, Abdul Majid Khan, Esperanza Cerdeño, Muhammad Akhtar, Muhammad Akbar Khan, Ayesha Iqbal, Muhammad Mubashir
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
New isolated teeth with maxillary and mandibular fragments from the Chinji Formation of the Lower Siwaliks are described and determined as Gaindatherium browni and Gaindatherium vidali. This material comes from the Middle Miocene of Lava and Dhok Bun Ameer Khatoon localities, northern Pakistan, and significantly increases the number of remains previously known for this rhinocerotid genus. Specimens from the Lava site determined as G. vidali present morphological differences with respect to those of G. browni, being similar to those of G. vidali from the Nagri Formation, showing a greater size. Previously, G. vidali was reported only from the Nagri Formation …
A 3d Model For The Formation Of Turtleback Surfaces: The Horzum Turtleback Of Western Turkey As A Case Study, Gürol Seyi̇toğlu, Veysel Işik, Korhan Esat
A 3d Model For The Formation Of Turtleback Surfaces: The Horzum Turtleback Of Western Turkey As A Case Study, Gürol Seyi̇toğlu, Veysel Işik, Korhan Esat
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Turtleback surfaces are common elements of highly extended terrains all over the world. This paper presents a 3D model explaining the formation of turtleback surfaces based on field observations made on the Horzum Turtleback of the Alaşehir graben, western Turkey. Three essential features have been determined as forming a turtleback surface. These are 1) the rolling hinge mechanism on a normal fault system, where the initial fault stays operational after forming second and third normal faults in its hanging wall; 2) relay ramps between initial fault segments; and 3) a synextensional intrusion on the shear zone of the initial normal …

Geological, Petrological, And Geodynamical Characteristics Of The Karacaali Magmatic Complex (Kırıkkale) In The Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex, Turkey, Ömer Eli̇tok, Şenel Özdamar, Gürkan Bacak, Bektaş Uz
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Mafic and felsic igneous rocks in the Karacaali Magmatic Complex (KMC) in the northwestern margin of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) are classified into 4 groups: i) granitoid pluton including granite, granodiorite, and monzonite; ii) a few meter-scale porphyritic microgranite enclaves within the hybrid rocks; iii) hybrid rocks formed by mixing/mingling of mafic lavas (basaltic/diabasic/lamprophyric), anorthositic, and/or rhyolitic lavas; iv) diabasic dykes/veins within the granitoid pluton. Major element composition of the granitoid pluton and porphyritic microgranite enclaves within the hybrid rocks indicate subalkaline, calc-alkaline, and mostly I-type characteristics. These rocks are mainly peraluminous with aluminum saturation index > 1, but …
