Monazite geochronology, magmatism, and extensional dynamics within the Menderes Massif, western Turkey

Tectono-stratigraphy of the Neogene basins in Western Turkey: Implications for tectonic evolution of the Aegean Extended Region

“…Second, we will describe the stratigraphy and structural features of the NE-SW-trending Neogene basins developed on the northern MEMC.
