Petrography And Petrology Of The Yürekli (Balıkesir) Volcanics: An Example Of Post-Collisional Felsic Volcanism In The Biga Peninsula (Nw Turkey), Ece Simay Saatci, Zafer Aslan
Petrography And Petrology Of The Yürekli (Balıkesir) Volcanics: An Example Of Post-Collisional Felsic Volcanism In The Biga Peninsula (Nw Turkey), Ece Simay Saatci, Zafer Aslan
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
In this study, the aim was to determine the petrography, geochemistry and source of the Yürekli volcanics (Biga Peninsula, NW Turkey). Tertiary volcanism is widespread in Western Anatolia (NW Turkey), which is an important area where tectonic and magmatic events are observed together. Yürekli volcanic rocks comprise dacitic lavas and pyroclastics. Dacitic lavas show porphyric and hyaloporphyric texture, and consist of plagioclase, quartz, amphibole, biotite, sanidine and Fe-Ti oxide minerals with apatite and zircon accessory minerals. Petrologically, they have high-potassic and calc-alkaline characteristics. Yürekli volcanics show enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and are depleted in high field strength …

Geochemical Characteristics Of Gabbroic Rocks In Zyarat In North East Of Iran, Ghassem Azi̇zzadeh, Mostafa Raghi̇mi̇, Seyed Jamal Shei̇khzakari̇aee, Aziz Rahi̇mi̇ Chakdel
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The mafic rocks outcrops exposed in the South of Gorgan, northeastern of Iran. These gabbroic rocks are intruded into the Middle–Upper Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and Gorgan schist units representing a part of the north Gondwana province. Petrography studies of these rocks show medium to coarse grained sizes and the texture varies from ophitic to intergranular under polarized microscope. The mineralogical composition of mafic dykes is dominated by large crystals of clinopyroxene + orthopyroxene + plagioclase and hornblende. These rocks can be classified as gabbroic rock. Geochemical studies show that these rocks have low to medium K2O contents. The …
Mineral Chemistry, Whole-Rock Geochemistry And Petrology Of Eocene I-Type Shoshonitic Plutons In The Gölköy Area (Ordu, Ne Turkey), İrfan Temi̇zel, Emel Abdi̇oğlu Yazar, Mehmet Arslan, Abdullah Kaygusuz, Zafer Aslan

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The Eocene intermediate to felsic plutons are widespread in varying sizes and compositions throughout the Eastern Pontides Orogenic Belt in NE Turkey. Of these, two monzonitic bodies (namely the Eriko Tepe and Göl Tepe Plutons) in the Gölköy (Ordu) area, extend nearly in the orientation of NW-SE and E-W and were emplaced into the Upper Cretaceous and/or Eocene volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Petrographically, the studied monzonitic plutons are compositionally fine to medium grained monzonite, monzodiorite and subordinate quartz-monzonite. They consist of plagioclase (An35-67), K-feldspar (Or61-96), quartz, clinopyroxene (Wo28-49En35-51Fs10-25), biotite (Mg#: …
Mineralogical Findings From Manganese Deposits In The Artova Ophiolite Complex, Derbent-Eymir Area, Yozgat, Turkey, Nursel Oksuz
Mineralogical Findings From Manganese Deposits In The Artova Ophiolite Complex, Derbent-Eymir Area, Yozgat, Turkey, Nursel Oksuz
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The Artova Ophiolitic Complex (AOC), which formed in association with Alpine Ophiolites, is exposed in the NE part of central Anatolia, in the interior of the central Black Sea region and within the borders of Çorum and Yozgat. The Derbent-Eymir manganese- oxide deposit under investigation occurs within this ophiolitic complex. The mineral association in Derbent ore is composed chiefly of pyrolusite, manganite and lesser amounts of ramsdellite, magnetite and goethite. Calcite is the main gangue mineral. The mineral association in Eymir ore is represented by pyrolusite, braunite, neltnerite, jacobsite, psilomelane and trace amount of limonite accompanied by some gangue minerals …
Heavy Minerals And Exotic Pebbles From The Eocene Flysch Deposits Of The Magura Nappe (Outer Western Carpathians, Eastern Slovakia): Their Composition And Implications On The Provenance, Katarína Bónová, Ján Bóna, Martin Kovácik, Tomás Mikus
Heavy Minerals And Exotic Pebbles From The Eocene Flysch Deposits Of The Magura Nappe (Outer Western Carpathians, Eastern Slovakia): Their Composition And Implications On The Provenance, Katarína Bónová, Ján Bóna, Martin Kovácik, Tomás Mikus
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The study aims to reconstruct the crystalline parent rock assemblages of the Eocene Strihovce Formation (Krynica Unit) and Mrazovce Member (Raca Unit) deposits, based on the heavy mineral suites, their corrosive features, geochemistry of garnet and tourmaline, zircon cathodoluminescence (CL) images, and exotic pebble composition. Both units are an integral part of the Magura Nappe belonging to the Flysch Belt (Outer Western Carpathians). Corrosion signs observable on heavy minerals point to different burial conditions and/or diverse sources. The compositions of the detrital garnets and tourmalines as well as the CL study of zircons indicate their origin in gneisses, mica schists, …

Petrogenesis, Geochemistry, And Tectonic Setting Of A Basaltic Body Within Thegercus Formation Of Northern Iraq: First Record For Eocene Anorogenic Volcanicactivity In The Region, Yawooz A. Kettanah, Adnan H. Bamarni
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
An abnormally odd and rare occurrence of a basaltic body has been discovered in the middle of the Gercus Formation within the large, double-plunging NW-SE trending Bekhair Anticline to the north of Duhok city, northern Iraq. This is the first discovery of such a volcanic body within the widely exposed Gercus Formation in northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, and western Iran. This volcanic body, named by the authors the Gercus Basalt, has a long tabular/lenticular shape with a total length of ~4.5 km and a thickness ranging between 1 to 16 m. It is exposed on both limbs of the anticline …
