Timing of tectonic events in the Menderes Massif, western Turkey: Implications for tectonic evolution and evidence for pan‐African basement in Turkey

Abstract: The Menderes Massif forms the western of the two large metamorphic culminations within the Turkish Alpide orogen. It has three major lithologic units, with a gneissic “core” at the base and a “schist” and a “marble” envelope overlying it successively, although relations between them have been largely obscured by the polymetamorphic and structurally complex history of the Massif. We present a review of the available stratigraphic evidence and combine it with new isotopic ages from the central and southern parts… Show more

“…The question is, how is it possible? According to many authors, the Main Menderes Metamorphism resulted from the nappe stacking of the Menderes basement and cover during the Eocene [Akkök, 1983;Şengör et al, 1984;Bozkurt and Oberhänsli, 2001;Okay, 2001]. In our kinematic reconstructions, this unit started to subduct in the late Paleocene-early Eocene and was quickly accreted to the Eurasian margin as the subduction front propagated southward (figure 10).…”

“…Metamorphism (figure 5) [Akkök, 1983;Şengör et al, 1984;Bozkurt and Oberhänsli, 2001;Lips et al, 2001;Okay, 2001]. Oligocene migmatites crop out in the northern Menderes massif, suggesting a HT event following the Main Menderes Metamorphism [Catlos and Çemen, 2005;Bozkurt et al, 2010], while the rest of the massif experienced greenschist-facies metamorphism [Hetzel et al, 1995a;Bozkurt and Oberhänsli, 2001].…”

“…The Neotethyan suture is represented by the Izmir-Ankara ophiolite and ophiolitic mélange belt that separated units of Eurasian affinitiy in the north ("Sakarya continent") from a Gondwana-derived continental fragment ("AnatolideTauride block") to the south [Sengör and Yilmaz, 1981;Robertson and Dixon, 1984;Sengör et al, 1984] (Figure 2). The Anatolide-Tauride block is presently still separated from Africa by the oceanic crust of the eastern Mediterranean region [Erduran et al, 2008].…”
