Tectono-Magmatic Evolution Of Alkaline Volcanics At Thekırka-Afyon-Isparta Structural Trend, Sw Turkey, M. Yilmaz Savaşcin, Tolga Oyman

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The youngest Alpine magmatism (Miocene to Quaternary) in Western and Central Anatolia is represented by three coeval assemblages from West to East. They are the Western Anatolian Volcanic assemblage (WAV), the N-S trending Kirka-Afyon-Isparta Alkaline Volcanic assemblage (KAIAV) and the Central Anatolian Volcanic Provinces (CAVP). The WAV and CAVP start with calc-alka-line volcanics and continue after Middle Miocene with shoshonitic to alkaline products of graben volcanism, while the KAIAV are all alkaline in character, without any former or later calc-alkaline contributions. The KAIAV are emplaced in three steps of alkaline vol-canic activities which exhibit southward younging along the N-S Kirka-Afyon-Isparta …
