Fanthalamia Kadiri N. Sp., A New "Sphinctozoan" Sponge From The Triassic (Carnian) Of Turkey, Baba Senowbari-Daryan, Michael Link, Diego C. García-Bellido Mar 2012

Fanthalamia Kadiri N. Sp., A New "Sphinctozoan" Sponge From The Triassic (Carnian) Of Turkey, Baba Senowbari-Daryan, Michael Link, Diego C. García-Bellido

Studia UBB Geologia

A new sphinctozoid sponge - Fanthalamia kadiri - is described from the Upper Triassic (Carnian) of the Antalya area, southern Turkey. This is the second species of the genus Fanthalamia found in Upper Triassic rocks of Turkey.


The Palu-Uluova Strike-Slip Basin In The East Anatolian Fault System, Turkey: Its Transition From The Palaeotectonic To Neotectonic Stage, Serap Çolak, Ercan Aksoy, Ali̇ Koçyi̇ği̇t, Murat İnceöz Jan 2012

The Palu-Uluova Strike-Slip Basin In The East Anatolian Fault System, Turkey: Its Transition From The Palaeotectonic To Neotectonic Stage, Serap Çolak, Ercan Aksoy, Ali̇ Koçyi̇ği̇t, Murat İnceöz

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The East Anatolian fault system (EAFS) is the 80-km-wide, 700-km-long, NE-trending sinistral strike-slip fault system forming a seismically very active intracontinental transfom fault boundary. It is located between Karlıova County in the northeast and Karataş-Samandağ counties in the southwest, and forms the southeastern boundary of the Anatolian platelet. The Palu-Uluova basin is one of several strike-slip basins located along the EAFS. It is surrounded by several push-ups such as the Karaömerdağı, Mastardağı and Askerdağı push-ups caused by the complexities peculiar to strike-slip faulting. The Palu-Uluova basin consists of three sub-sections: two are NE-trending strike-slip sub-basins, the Uluova and the Palu-Kumyazı …


Economic Analysis Of A Wind-Battery Hybrid System: An Application For A House In Gebze, Turkey, With Moderate Wind Energy Potential, Bahti̇yar Dursun, Ci̇han Gökçöl Jan 2012

Economic Analysis Of A Wind-Battery Hybrid System: An Application For A House In Gebze, Turkey, With Moderate Wind Energy Potential, Bahti̇yar Dursun, Ci̇han Gökçöl

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, the energy demand of a house in Gebze, Turkey, is met by using wind energy as a primary energy source combined with rechargeable batteries. The wind-battery system is simulated by MATLAB while considering that energy continuity is maintained by using a sufficient number of batteries. A life-cycle cost analysis is carried out over a 20-year system lifetime because the operating time of the hybrid system is subject to the turbine life, usually assumed to be 20 years. The wind turbine generators considered are of various nominal powers, ranging from 0.6 to 450 kW. For each wind turbine, …


Geochemical And Isotopic Constraints On Petrogenesis Of The Beypazarı Granitoid, Nw Ankara, Western Central Anatolia, Turkey, Yeşi̇m Yücel Öztürk, Cahi̇t Helvaci, Muharrem Satir Jan 2012

Geochemical And Isotopic Constraints On Petrogenesis Of The Beypazarı Granitoid, Nw Ankara, Western Central Anatolia, Turkey, Yeşi̇m Yücel Öztürk, Cahi̇t Helvaci, Muharrem Satir

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Upper Cretaceous Beypazarı granitoid of the western Ankara, Turkey, is composed of two different units, on the basis of petrography and geochemical composition; these are granodiorite and diorite. The granitoid is subalkaline, belonging to the high-K calc-alkaline I-type granite series, which have relatively low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7053-0.7070). All these characteristics, combined with major, trace element geochemical data as well as mineralogical and textural evidence, reveal that the Beypazarı granitoid formed in a volcanic arc setting and was derived from a subduction-modified and metasomatized mantle-sourced magma, with its crustal and mantle components contaminated by interaction with the upper crust. …


Late Palaeozoic To Cenozoic Evolution Of The Black Sea-Southern Eastern Europe Region: A View From The Russian Platform, Anatoly Nikishin, Peter Ziegler, Sergey Bolotov, Pavel Fokin Jan 2012

Late Palaeozoic To Cenozoic Evolution Of The Black Sea-Southern Eastern Europe Region: A View From The Russian Platform, Anatoly Nikishin, Peter Ziegler, Sergey Bolotov, Pavel Fokin

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

A synthesis of the Late Palaeozoic to Cenozoic evolution of the Black Sea region and the southern parts of the East European Platform (EEP) is presented. During Carboniferous to Early Permian times the Cordillera-type Euxinus Orogen evolved along the southern margin of the EEP in response to progressive closure of the Rheic and Palaeotethys oceans and the accretion of Gondwana-derived continental terranes. Permian development of the north-dipping Palaeotethys subduction system along the southern Pontides margin of these terranes was accompanied by important compressional intraplate deformation on the EEP. The Mesozoic to Palaeogene evolution of the southern parts of the EEP, …


Late Cretaceous-Eocene Geological Evolution Of The Pontides Based On New Stratigraphic And Palaeontologic Data Between The Black Sea Coast And Bursa (Nw Turkey), Zahi̇de Özcan, Aral Okay, Ercan Özcan, Aynur Hakyemez, Sevi̇nç Altiner Jan 2012

Late Cretaceous-Eocene Geological Evolution Of The Pontides Based On New Stratigraphic And Palaeontologic Data Between The Black Sea Coast And Bursa (Nw Turkey), Zahi̇de Özcan, Aral Okay, Ercan Özcan, Aynur Hakyemez, Sevi̇nç Altiner

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Late Cretaceous-Eocene geological evolution of northwest Turkey between the Black Sea and Bursa was studied through detailed biostratigraphic characterization of eleven stratigraphic sections. The Upper Cretaceous sequence in the region starts with a major marine transgression and lies unconformably on a basement of Palaeozoic and Triassic rocks in the north (İstanbul-type basement) and on metamorphic rocks and Jurassic sedimentary rocks in the south (Sakarya-type basement). Four megasequences have been differentiated in the Late Cretaceous-Eocene interval. The first one, of Turonian to Late Campanian age, is represented by volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks in the north along the Black Sea coast, …
