Molluscan Bi̇ostrati̇graphy Of Early Mi̇ocene Deposi̇ts Of The Kale-Tavas And Acipayam Basi̇ns (Deni̇zli̇, Sw Turkey), Yesim Buyukmeri̇c

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

In the present work, a stratigraphic framework of the early Miocene units of the Kale-Tavas and Acıpayam deposits is proposed.Two stratigraphic sections from the brackish-marine deposits of Aquitanian (Yenidere formation) and three sections from the shallow marine units of late Burdigalian (Kale formation) age have been logged. In total 26 mollusc species are identified similar to those of the areas in the Mediterranean province. The fauna indicates that the Mediterranean Tethys occupied the southwestern part of the Denizli region only during the early Miocene. A tectonic pulse in the basin during the early Miocene may have been very important to …

Application Of Tilt Angle Method To The Bouguer Gravity Data Of Western Anatolia, Fikret Doğru, Oya Pamukçu, İlkin Özsöz

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

In this study, tilt angle method was applied to Western Anatolia gravity data in order to estimate edges of the geological structures. Tilt angle was obtained in two different ways by using gravity and its vertical derivative. In potential field methods, tilt angle technique is expressed as the ratio of vertical derivative to horizontal derivatives of anomaly. In the tilt angle map, 0° contours defines structure edges, half of the distance between ±45° defines depth of upper structure. In the field work of the study, gravity data, which was measured in Western Anatolia, was used to obtain regional anomaly maps …
