Beypazarı, Kilci and Başören blind thrusts together with Erenler back Central Anatolia, Turkey thrust constitute the Beypazarı Blind Thrust Zone which is an active neotectonic structure as indicated by earthquake activity. NW-SE contraction created by the interaction between the North Anatolian Fault Zone, the Kırıkkale-Erbaa Fault Zone and the Eskişehir Fault Zone produced the Eldivan-Elmadağ Pinched Crustal Wedge, the Abdüsselam Received: 27.04.2016 Pinched Crustal Wedge and the Beypazarı Blind Thrust Zone. These structures take up the internal deformation of the Accepted: 08.09.2016 Anatolian Plate. 1. Introduction the right lateral North Anatolian Fault and the Eskişehir Fault. This NW-SE contraction produces Beypazarı flexure (Rondot, 1956; Kalafatçıoğlu the NE-SW trending thrust faults, folding axes and and Uysallı, 1964; Kavuşan, 1993a), later known as monoclines that most prominent one is named as the Beypazarı monocline (Yağmurlu et al., 1988; Demirci, Beypazarı-Çayırhan monocline. 2000) is one of the important structures in NW central Anatolia. The region between Beypazarı and Kavuşan (1993a), however, proposed that in Çayırhan were mainly investigated by geochemistry every stage of the Beypazarı-Çayırhan basin, NW- oriented studies due to lignite, trona and geothermal SE contraction was operational. It is noted that the resources (Helvacı et al., 1981; Özpeker et al., 1991; effect of fractures is fading towards the young strata Suner, 1993; Kavuşan, 1993b; Karadenizli 1995; and turns to folding. Demirci (2000) determined three Orti et al., 2002; Özçelik, 2002; Özgüm et al., 2003; different regional tectonic phases, E-W contraction, Özçelik and Altınsoy, 2005; Diker et al., 2006; Şener, N-S contraction and final extension. It is also noted that 2007; Garcia-Veigas et al., 2013; Bechtel et al., 2014; the final extension is not observed around Beypazarı Pehlivanlı et al., 2014). During trona mining, the (Demirci, 2000, p.142). problems about rock mechanics and hydrogeology were also investigated (Aksoy et al., 2006; Apaydın, Esat and Seyitoğlu (2010), Esat (2011), Esat et al. 2010). Structural geology / tectonics oriented studies, (2016) and Esat et al. (2017) suggested that the NW- however, are very limited (Yağmurlu et al., 1988; İnci, SE contractional tectonic regime is developed in the 1991; Kavuşan, 1993a; Demirci, 2000). triangle-like area between the North Anatolian Fault Zone, the Eskişehir Fault Zone and the Kırıkkale- Yağmurlu et al. (1988) suggested that the Erbaa Fault Zone (Figure 1). Due to the interaction Beypazarı-Çayırhan Neogene basin was initiated in of these fault zones, the Eldivan-Elmadağ Pinched Early Miocene under extensional tectonic regime. Crustal Wedge (EPCW) is developed and mapped After Pliocene the basin deformed under NW-SE in detail (Seyitoğlu et al., 2000; 2009). Abdüsselam contraction that is created by the interaction between Pinched Crustal Wedge (APCW) is recognized more * Corresponding author: Gürol Seyitoğlu, [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.19111/bmre.42566 1 Bull.
