Extensional and compressional regime driven left-lateral shear in southwestern Anatolia (eastern Mediterranean): The Burdur-Fethiye Shear Zone

“…Therefore, many minor faults and second-order structures were either omitted or incorrectly mapped as major faults with the lengths of tens of kilometers (e.g., Gürer et al, 2004;Alçiçek et al, 2005Alçiçek et al, , 2013ten Veen, 2004; Alçiçek and ten Veen, 2008;Över et al, 2010;2013 a, b;Kaymakçı et al, 2014). This 75-90 km wide and 300 km long shear zone could not have been noticed by the researchers due to the local scopes of their studies.…”

“…shortcoming of the NE-SW extensional graben system approach, suggested based on the characteristics of the faults and earthquake focal mechanism solutions (Alçiçek, 2001;Alçiçek et al, 2005;2013;ten Veen, 2004;Alçiçek and ten Veen, 2008;Över et al, 2010;2013 a, b), is its kinematic incompatibility with the surrounding systems (Fig. 1).…”

“…and unidentified structural area between these two domains are controversial(Alçiçek et al, 2005;2013;ten Veen, 2004; Alçiçek and tenVeen, 2008; Gürer et al, 2004;Över et al, 2010; Kaymakçı et al, 2014; Elitez and Yaltırak 2014 a, b; Elitez et ).Barka and Reilinger (1997) suggested a single left-lateral fault similar to the East Anatolian Fault between the Aegean graben system and the compressional western Tauride uplift. Subsequent mapping studies showed the inexistence of a single left-lateral fault(Gürer et al, 2004; Alçiçek et al, 2005;2013; Alçiçek and tenVeen, 2008;Över et al, 2010; Kaymakçı et al, 2014; Elitez and Yaltirak 2014 a, b).…”

“…Subsequent mapping studies showed the inexistence of a single left-lateral fault(Gürer et al, 2004; Alçiçek et al, 2005;2013; Alçiçek and tenVeen, 2008;Över et al, 2010; Kaymakçı et al, 2014; Elitez and Yaltirak 2014 a, b). However, the geological map prepared by integrating new techniques and field studies has demonstrated that there is instead a 75-to 90-km-wide left-lateral transtensional shear zone between the Aegean graben system and thecompressional western Tauride uplift (Elitez and Yaltırak 2014a, b; Elitez et al, 2015).…”

The First Paleoseismic Trench Data From Acipayam Fault, Fethi̇ye Burdur Fault Zone, Sw Turkey

“…Many papers have been published about the seismicity and active tectonics of the SW Turkey and surrounding area (i.e. Dumont et al, 1979;Koçyiğit, 1984;Şaroğlu et al, 1987;Barka and Reilinger, 1997;Yağmurlu, 2000;Yaltırak et al, 2010;Över et al, 2010and 2013a, 2013b.…”
