Deformational behaviour of continental lithosphere deduced from block rotations across the North Anatolian fault zone in Turkey
Piper, JDA; Tatar, O; Gursoy, H (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 1997)Theoretical considerations of lithosphere deformation across transform plate boundaries predict an expression in terms of distributed deformation. The magnitude of rotation is expected to diminish away from the fault zone ... -
Kinematics of late pliocene-quaternary normal faulting in the southeastern end of the Gediz graben, Western Anatolia, Turkey
The kinematic analysis of fault-slip data obtained from lower Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits indicates two successive extensional events in the southeastern end of the Gediz graben. The late Pliocene N-S extensional ... -
Neotectonic deformation in the western sector of tectonic escape in Anatolia: palaeomagnetic study of the Afyon region, central Turkey
Gursoy, H; Piper, JDA; Tatar, O (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2003)Following final closure of the Neotethyan Ocean during the late Miocene, deformation in central Turkey has led to crustal thickening and uplift to produce the Anatolian Plateau followed by westward extrusion of terranes ... -
Neotectonic deformation linking the east Anatolian and Karatas-Osmaniye intracontinental transform fault zones in the Gulf of Iskenderun, southern Turkey, deduced from paleomagnetic study of the Ceyhan-Osmaniye volcanics
Gursoy, H; Tatar, O; Piper, JDA; Heimann, A; Mesci, L (AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION, 2003)Left-lateral strike slip along the Dead Sea Fault Zone (DSFZ) between the African and Arabian plates is partitioned into a complex set of motions at its northern extension where Arabia impinges into the Anatolian collage. ... -
Palaeomagnetic evidence for the Gondwanian origin of the Taurides and rotation of the Isparta Angle, southern Turkey
Piper, JDA; Gursoy, H; Tatar, O; Isseven, T; Kocyigit, A (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2002)The Taurides, the southernmost of the three major tectonic domains that constitute present-day Turkey, were emplaced following consumption of the Tethyan Ocean in Late Mesozoic to mid-Tertiary times. They are generally ... -
Palaeomagnetic study of the Galatean Volcanic Province, north-central Turkey: Neogene deformation at the northern border of the Anatolian Block
Gursoy, H; Piper, JDA; Tatar, O (JOHN WILEY & SONS LTD, 1999)A regional palaeomagnetic study is reported from 24 lavas of the (Late Miocene) Galatean Volcanic Province bordering the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) in northern Anatolia. Rock magnetic studies show that the lavas ... -
Palaeomagnetic study of the Karaman and Karapinar volcanic complexes, central Turkey: neotectonic rotation in the south-central sector of the Anatolian Block
Gursoy, H; Piper, JDA; Tatar, O; Mesci, L (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 1998)In the Anatolian sector of the Afro-Eurasian collision zone a palaeotectonic collisional phase (Paleocene to Miocene) responsible for emplacement of the Pontide and Tauride orogens has been replaced by a neotectonic phase ... -
A palaeomagnetic study of the Sivas Basin, central Turkey: Crustal deformation during lateral extrusion of the Anatolian Block
Gursoy, H; Piper, JDA; Tatar, O; Temiz, H (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 1997)The Sivas Basin is a complex collage of Eocene and younger rocks located within the wedge-shaped eastern margin of the Anatolian Block between the (dextral) North Anatolian Fault Zone and the (sinistral) Eastern Anatolian ... -
Palaeomagnetism and magnetic properties of the Cappadocian ignimbrite succession, central Turkey and Neogene tectonics of the Anatolian collage
Piper, JDA; Gursoy, H; Tatar, O (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2002)The Cappadocian ignimbrite succession of central-southern Anatolia comprises at least nine major and two minor calc-alkaline rhyolitic sheets emplaced at 1-2-Ma intervals between 11.2 and 1.1 Ma. It records the last phase ... -
Rate of strike-slip motion on the Amanos Fault (Karasu Valley, southern Turkey) constrained by K-Ar dating and geochemical analysis of Quaternary basalts
Yurtmen, S; Guillou, H; Westaway, R; Rowbotham, G; Tatar, O (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2002)The left-lateral Amanos Fault follows a similar to 200-km-long and up to similar to 2-km-high escarpment that bounds the eastern margin of the Amanos mountain range and the western margin of the Karasu Valley in southern ... -
Tectonostratigraphy of the Tercan-Cayirli Basin: Implications for the neogene-Quaternary tectonic deformation of the Northeast Anatolian Block, Turkey
Temiz, H; Guezou, JC; Tatar, O; Unlugenc, UC; Poisson, A (V H WINSTON & SON INC, 2002)The Tercan-Cayirli Basin is located in the Northeast Anatolian Block, and is bordered by the North Anatolian fault zone to the south and the Northeast Anatolian fault zone to the north. The basin developed on top Of a ...
