Neogene ignimbrites of the Nevsehir plateau (Central Turkey): stratigraphy, distribution and source constraints

Central Anatolian Plateau, Turkey: incision and paleoaltimetry recorded from volcanic rocks

“…Pasquaré (1968) named the area as "Central (Centro-) Anatolian Plateau", "Anatolian Highland", "Ürgüp plateau", or "Neogene plateau" well before Le Pennec et al (1994) introduced the name "Nevşehir Plateau". All these plateaus in fact correspond to an area bounded by 2 faults, the Tuz Gölü and Ecemiş faults, located between 2 Quaternary voluminous stratovolcanoes (Mt.…”

Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region

“…5 and 6; Innocenti et al 1975;Aydar et al 1995;Alici et al 1998;Temel et al 1998a;1998b). In Cappadocia extensive dacitic to rhyolitic ignimbrite sheets were deposited from the Late Miocene to Quaternary, associated with large andesitic stratovolcanoes and alkali basaltic scoria cones and maars (Pasquare et al 1988;Le Pennec et al 1994;Kürkçüoglu et al 1998;Temel et al 1998b).…”

Geology, mineralogy, geochemistry, and depositional environment of a Late Miocene/Pliocene fluviolacustrine succession, Cappadocian Volcanic Province, central Anatolia, Turkey

“…Consistent with this worldwide pattern, the mineralogy, petrography, and geochemistry of volcanic and pyroclastic rocks (especially ignimbrites) and the tectonics of the Cappadocian Volcanic Province (CVP) have been studied by many researchers (Beekman, 1966;Pasquaré, 1968;Innocenti et al, 1975;Pasquaré et al, 1988;Temel, 1992;Göncüoğlu and Toprak, 1992;Le Pennec et al, 1994, 2005Schumacher and Mues-Schumacher, 1996;Toprak, 1996Toprak, , 1998Schumacher and Schumacher, 1997;Temel et al, 1998;Dirik, 2001;ViereckGoette et al, 2010). In this region, the volcano-sedimentary rocks and associated palaeosols and calcretes have received little attention (Le Pennec et al, 2005;Gürel and Kadir, 2006Gürel and Yıldız, 2007;Gürel, 2009;Yavuz-Işık and Toprak, 2010;Kadir et al, 2013).…”
