Post-Collisional Central Anatolian Alkaline Plutonism, Turkey, Durmuş Boztuğ
Post-Collisional Central Anatolian Alkaline Plutonism, Turkey, Durmuş Boztuğ
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
A number of Upper Cretaceous-Palaeogene alkaline plutons intruded into the crustal metamorphic rocks, the pre-Maastrichtian ophiolitic mélange, and the Cretaceous-Lower Tertiary units are located in the Central Anatolia (CA), Turkey. These alkaline plutons constitute an important association in the post-collisional Central Anatolian Granitoids. The Dumluca, Murmana, Karakeban, Kösedağ, Hasançelebi, Karaçayir and Davulalan plutons constitute the eastern; whereas the Egrialan, Baranadağ, Hamit, Çamsarı, Durmuslu and Bayindir units the western part of this alkaline association. These plutons are mainly composed of silica oversaturated syenitic to monzonitic, and undersaturated syenitic felsic rocks. However, the Dumluca, Murmana and Karakeban plutons also include some undersaturated …

Central Anatolia typically represents well-preserved geological features of a collision zone. This collision zone is characterized by some geological events occurred in the Anatolide passive margin of the Anatolide-Pontide collision along the Ankara Erzincan suture zone. This suture zone is commonly known to be formed by the pre-Maastrichtian northward subduction of the northern branch of Neo-Tethys beneath the Pontides which was constituting the southernmost tip of Eurasiain plate at that time. These geological occurrences are inverted metamorphism; ophiolitic slabs derived from main suture zone; syn-collisional and S/C ST type magmatism; post-collisional, high-K calcalkaline, hybrid and I/H LO type magmatism; post-collisional, …
