“…This duration period also fit to the values proposed from the Tauride platform, southern Turkey (Altıner et al, 1999;Yılmaz and Altıner, 2001) showing this cyclicity is at least of regional-scale. Cycle type -A: Transgressive sandy, silty, bioclastic and foraminiferal limestones at the bottom and packestones with abundant charophytes and ostracods representing highstand conditions at the top are the fundamental facies variations within this type of cycle.…”

“…Therefore, the Type-2 sequence boundary which was recorded on an exposure structure landward is hidden in this bed. The number of cycles determined within the same time period in the Tauride carbonate platform in the study of Altıner et al (1999) and Yılmaz (2002) is comparable to the number of cycles in this study. In the Tauride platform, the lower Aptian comprises 15 cycles in the Fele 1 section, 10 cycles in the Fele 2 section, and 10 cycles in the Ü zü mlü section.…”

“…Shallow-water carbonates in the Hadim area are composed of upwardshallowing cycles revealed by microfacies studies. It is well established on the basis of previous studies (Goldhammer et al 1987(Goldhammer et al , 1990(Goldhammer et al , 1993Strasser 1988;Goldhammer and Harris 1989;Elrick and Read 1991;Osleger and Read 1991;Elrick 1996) and on recent studies of Paleozoic and Mesozoic successions of Taurides in Turkey (Altıner et al 1999;Ü nal et al 2003;Yılmaz et al 2004;Yılmaz and Altıner 2006), that stacking patterns of sedimentary cycles are useful for the detection of sea-level changes. The genetic organization of strata recognized in this study reveals sequences comparable to those described by Ross and Ross (1987), Alekseev et al (1996), Lane et al (1999), Izart et al (2003), Davydov et al (2004), and Haq and Schutter (2008) for the Paleozoic.…”

The Aladag Unit is one of the main tectonic units in the Tauride Belt, located in southern Turkey. It includes a continuous Paleozoic carbonate sequence encompassing the mid-Carboniferous boundary, with outcrops being especially well exposed in the Hadim region. The boundary succession lithology is mainly composed of carbonates with intercalated quartz arenitic sandstone layers. Based on foraminifers, four biostratigraphic zones have been defined in the interval from the Upper Serpukhovian to the Lower Bashkirian. These zones are, in ascending order: the Eostaffella ex gr. ikensis-E. postmosquensis Zone (Zapaltyubinsky Horizon, Upper Serpukhovian); the Plectostaffella jakhensis-P. bogdanovkensis Zone, and the Millerella marblensis Zone (Bogdanovsky Horizon, lower Bashkirian); and the Semistaffella sp. Zone (Syuransky Horizon, lower Bashkirian). The mid-Carboniferous boundary occurs between the Eostaffella ex gr. ikensis-E. postmosquensis Zone and the Plectostaffella jakhensis-P. bogdanovkensis Zone. Boundary beds are characterized by eight, repeatedly occurring microfacies types, namely: (1) coated crinoidal packstone; (2) coated bioclastic grainstone; (3) oolitic grainstone; (4) oolitic packstone-grainstone; (5) intraclastic grainstone; (6) mudstone-wackestone; (7) quartz-peloidal packstone; and 8) quartz arenitic sandstone. Based on microfacies stacking patterns, various types of shallowing-upward cycles have been recognized. Depositional sequences and sequence boundaries are correlatable with those described from North America and Russia and Carboniferous global sea-level curves. The duration of cycles has been estimated as 100 ky, suggesting that cycle periodicities correspond to the Milankovitch eccentricity band.

Tectonic evolution and paleogeography of the Kırşehir Block and the Central Anatolian Ophiolites, Turkey

In Central and Western Anatolia two continent-derived massifs simultaneously underthrusted an oceanic lithosphere in the Cretaceous and ended up with very contrasting metamorphic grades: high pressure, low temperature in the Tavşanlı zone and the low pressure, high temperature in the Kırşehir Block. To assess why, we reconstruct the Cretaceous paleogeography and plate configuration of Central Anatolia using structural, metamorphic, and geochronological constraints and Africa-Europe plate reconstructions. We review and provide new 40 Ar/ 39 Ar and U/Pb ages from Central Anatolian metamorphic and magmatic rocks and ophiolites and show new paleomagnetic data on the paleo-ridge orientation in a Central Anatolian Ophiolite. Intraoceanic subduction that formed within the Neotethys around 100-90 Ma along connected N-S and E-W striking segments was followed by overriding oceanic plate extension. Already during suprasubduction zone ocean spreading, continental subduction started. We show that the complex geology of central and southern Turkey can at first order be explained by a foreland-propagating thrusting of upper crustal nappes derived from a downgoing, dominantly continental lithosphere: the Kırşehir Block and Tavşanlı zone accreted around 85 Ma, the Afyon zone around 65 Ma, and Taurides accretion continued until after the middle Eocene. We find no argument for Late Cretaceous subduction initiation within a conceptual "Inner Tauride Ocean" between the Kırşehir Block and the Afyon zone as widely inferred. We propose that the major contrast in metamorphic grade between the Kırşehir Block and the Tavşanlı zone primarily results from a major contrast in subduction obliquity and the associated burial rates, higher temperature being reached upon higher subduction obliquity.
