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, …
