Mesozoic to Early Tertiary Tectonic- Sedimentary Evolution of the Northern Neotethys Ocean: Evidence from the Beysehir- Hoyran-Hadim Nappes, Southern Turkey Mesozoic to Early Tertiary tectonic- sedimentary evolution of the Northern Neotethys Ocean: evidence from the Beysehir- Hoyran-Hadim Nappes, Southern Turkey Theo Andrew Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 2002 I declare that this thesis has been written by myself and is the result of my own research, except where contributions have been stated and duly acknowledged. Theo Andrew ii “The sun sets on the western mountain. The cliff thrusts forward, suspended in space. See the ocean in its vastness and the sky in its immensity.” From the T’ai Chi classics, unknown author. iii Abstract The Beysehir-Hoyran-Hadim Nappes crop out over 700km, from east to west in the Pisidian and Central Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey. During this study, field obsevations of lithological, structural and sedimentological features are combined with igneous geochemical data derived from samples collected to help redefine a series of tectono-stratigraphic units and also determine the origin of the Beysehir-Hoyran-Hadim Nappes. Above a regionally autochthonous Tauride carbonate platform, the Beysehir-Hoyran Nappes begin with Ophiolitic Melange, consisting of blocks of neritic and pelagic limestone, basalt, serpentinite, radiolarian chert and, in places, amphibolite-grade metamorphic sole-type rocks, together set in a highly sheared siltstone and mudstone matrix. Locally, large slices of serpentinized harzburgite are incorporated in the melange. The peridotite sheets include lenses of chromitite and dunite and are cut by a series of dolerite dykes. The higher thrust sheets in the Hadim area begin with the Korualan Unit; a thrust sheet (ca. 400m thick) of mainly redeposited carbonates, quartzose sandstones and mudstones of Mid-Late Triassic age, interpreted as a proximal slope/base-of-slope succession. Regionally above is the Huglu-type Unit; a thrust sheet (ca. 1 km thick) of Mid-Late Triassic intermediate-acidic extrusives, volcaniclastics and minor pelagic carbonates, interpreted as a continental rift. Post-rift subsidence in this thrust sheet is recorded by thin (<100m thick) Upper Triassic-Upper Cretaceous pelagic carbonate and radiolarian chert, depositionally above. The uppermost thrust sheet, the Boyali Tepe-type Unit, comprises broken formation and melange, including Jurassic shallow-water carbonate, Ammonitico Rosso condensed pelagic limestone, radiolarian chert and Upper Cretaceous pelagic limestone, representing a Bahaman-type carbonate platform which subsided in Early Jurassic time. Anastomosing zones of tectonic-sedimentary melange separate these higher units. The Beysehir-Hoyran Nappes document Triassic rifting and Jurassic-Cretaceous passive margin subsidence bordering the Northern Neotethyan Ocean. The Late Cretaceous harzburgitic ophiolite probably formed above a northerly dipping subduction zone within the Neotethyan ocean basin. Ophiolitic melange formed along the leading edge of the overiding plate. The ophiolite was emplaced southwards onto the northern margin of the Tauride platform in latest Cretaceous time, probably during collision of the passive margin with a trench. The nappe pile and underlying platform (Hadim Nappe) were thrust ca. 150km further south in Late Eocene time during regional continental collision and suture zone tightening. Several alternative palaeo-tectonic models are considered and tested in the light of data presented from this study. Assuming ‘in-sequence’ thrusting, the Beysehir-Hoyran Nappes restore to a location north of a northerly Neotethyan spreading axis. More probably, they originated near the south margin of the northern Neotethys, but reached their position by ‘out-of-sequence thrusting’. Formation within a localised southerly strand of the northern Neotethys (Inner Tauride ocean) is more probable than within the main Neotethys further north. Wider implications for the Tethyan ocean as a whole and several other orogenic belts are also considered. iv Acknowledgements Over the last four years I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with a great deal of people who have made the process of producing this ‘labour of love’ a lot easier. Thankyou Alastair Robertson for all the considerable time and effort you have given over the course of this project. Your enthusiasm for all things (apart from a big e-mail folder!) is a joy to see and a source of inspiration. I suppose the chain of events that brought me to Edinburgh started one day back in Leicester with an innocent suggestion from Allan Collins…… The Tethyan Research Group (past, present and future!) during my time here have been a constant source of inspiration, in particular the 1998-2002 vintage; Khalil Al-Riyami, Nikos Kourampas, Noah Jaffey, Matthew Clark, Mat Hard’n’fast, and Sam Rice. Timur Üstaomer, Ulvican and family, Ali Ünlügenç, Ömer Faruk Çelik are all thanked for being more than just friendly faces in foreign places. The fieldwork in Turkey could not have been done without your help. Taniel Danelian generously helped out with all things radiolarian and Olivier Monod kindly provided hard to find literature which proved to be crucial in the end. Nik Glazebrook provided much needed expert fieldwork assistance during the second field season. The PhD studentship was kindly sponsored by the Natural Environment Research Council, the Caledonian Brewery, and during the last few months the City of Edinburgh Council and the Diagenesis Research Group. The third and final field season was made possible only by the generosity of the University of Edinburgh who kindly supported fieldwork costs. Technical assistance at Edinburgh University was expertly supplied by Geoff Angell, Dodie James, Shane Voss , Justin McNeil, Mike Hall and Yvonne Cooper. Whilst demonstrating on numerous memorable fieldtrips (in particular Cyprus, Whitby & Inchnadamph) I have benefited from various words of wisdom; some related to this project, some about geoscience and some about life in general. In particular, ENKC, JRU, SLH, RAS, RSH and Peder Aspen all had sensible things to say. Also many thanks to John Dixon and Katy Hardacre for reading through early drafts of various chapters. Big thanks to all the people who have brightened my days during my time in Edinburgh and who I am proud to call my friends. In no particular order; John Braisby, for sharing a big flat and many good times. May there be many more round the corner! Rich Hesketh, for not only being there at the end, but being a much needed source of distraction. Lets face it- slime volleyball IS much more fun than writing up. Matthew Clark, again, for being there from the start and sharing much of this amazing adventure with me. Colonel Mustard, for the rainy day rides home. Pete McFadzean, for keeping it westside baby. For real….Ruth Gilpin for all the black cab moments, “TAXI FOR GILPIN!”. Emily Good, for amongst other things teaching me how to do crosswords during countless coffee breaks. Andrew Cavanagh, for showing me that there is another way. Gavin England, for his antipodean humour and ‘thirst’ for the good life. Ira Ojala for all the ‘zoomhey’; whatever it means! Chris Byrne, for sharing a little flat and putting up with me during the last few months, and finally, Anna Hultman, for knowing how to make me smile :-) The biggest thankyou is reserved for my family; June, Peter and big bruv Piers for their unconditional love and support. v CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 RATIONALE 1 1.2 REGIONAL AND TECTONIC SETTING 1 1.2.1 Tethys ocean 4 1.2.2 Single evolving Tethys model 5 1.2.3 Single Mesozoic Tethys model 5 1.2.4 Southwards subduction model 9 1.3 PROJECT METHODS 9 1.4 THESIS ORGANISATION 11 1.5 PRONUNCIATION OF THE TURKISH LANGUAGE 12 1.5.1 Place names 12 1.6 A BRIEF NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY 13 CHAPTER 2: BEYSEHIR AREA 14 2.1 PREVIOUS WORK 14 2.2 INTRODUCTION 16 2.3 REGIONAL AUTOCHTHON (GEYIK DAG UNIT) 16 2.3.1 Autochthonous Palaeozoic basement 17 2.3.1.1 Çal Tepe Formation (Lower-Mid Cambrian) 17 2.3.1.2 Seydisehir Formation (Mid Cambrian-Ordovician) 19 2.3.1.3 Sobova Formation (Late Arenig) 19 2.3.2 AUTOCHTHONOUS MESOZOIC UNITS 19 2.3.2.1 Triassic 20 2.3.2.2 Jurassic – Late Cretaceous 20 2.3.2.3 Late Cretaceous -Tertiary 21 2.4 ALLOCHTHONOUS HADIM NAPPE 25 2.4.1 Palaeozoic Bademli unit 25 2.4.1.1 Devonian schists and quartzites 25 2.4.1.2 Carboniferous shales, carbonates and quartzites 25 2.4.1.3 Permian limestone (Cevizli Limestone) 27 2.4.1.4 Lower Triassic carbonates (Medi Ova Formation) 27 2.4.1.5 Lower Jurassic siliciclastics (Derebucak Formation) 28 2.4.2 Lower Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous Çamlik Unit 29 2.4.2.1 Lower Jurassic transitional units 29 2.4.2.2 Mid Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous neritic limestone 30 2.5 OPHIOLITE AND OPHIOLITIC MELANGE 31 2.5.1 Ophiolitic Melange 33 2.5.2 Melange Matrix 33 2.5.3 Melange inclusions 34 2.5.3.1 Limestone Inclusions 35 2.5.3.2 Volcano-sedimentary- metamorphic rock melange 37 2.5.3.3 Peridotite thrust sheet 38 2.5.3.5 Basal Ophiolitic Melange 39 2.6 ALLOCHTHONOUS BEYSEHIR NAPPES 40 2.6.1 Upper Triassic Gencek Unit 40 2.6.2 Upper Triassic-Upper Cretaceous Boyali Tepe Unit 40 2.6.3 Triassic-Upper Cretaceous Huglu Unit 44 2.6.3.1 Lower volcano-sedimentary unit 45 2.6.3.2 Upper pelagic limestone unit 47 2.7 SUMMARY 48 vi CHAPTER 3: PISIDIAN TAURIDES 50 3.1 PREVIOUS WORK 50 3.2 TECTONOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE WESTERN PISIDIAN TAURIDES: SARKIKARAAGAÇ AND KUMDANLI AREAS 52 3.2.1 REGIONAL AUTOCHTHON 52 3.2.1.1 The Sultan Dag autochthon north of Lake Beysehir (Sarkikaraagaç area) 53 3.2.1.2 The Sultan Dag autochthon northeast of Lake Hoyran (Kumdanli area) 54 3.2.1.3 The Anamas Dag autochthon in the Sarkikaraagaç area 61 3.2.2 ALLOCHTHONOUS UNITS 61 3.2.2.1 The B-H Nappes in the Sarkikaraagaç region 61 3.2.2.2 The B-H Nappes in the Kumdanli region 67 3.3 TECTONOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE WESTERN PISIDIAN TAURIDES: THE DINAR AREA 70 3.3.1 Regional Autochthon 72 3.3.1.2 The Precambrian Sandikli Basement Complex 72 3.3.1.3 Early Palaeozoic autochthonous succession: the Hüdai, Çaltepe and Seydisehir Formations.

A.: Trilobites of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation, lowermost Arenig) from the Oslo Region, Norway. Part Il: remaining non-asaphid groups. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 79, pp. 259-280. Oslo 1999. ISSN 0029-196X. This is Part Il of a two-part description of the trilobite fauna of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation) in the Oslo, Eiker­ Sandsvær, Modum and Mjøsa areas. In this part, the non-asaphid trilobites are described, while the asaphid species have been described previously. The history and status of the Tremadoc-Arenig Boundary problem is also reviewed, and I have found no reason to insert a Hunnebergian Series between the Tremadoc and the Arenig series, as has been suggested by some workers. Descriptions of the localities yielding this special trilobite fauna are provided. Most of the 22 trilobite species found in the Hagastrand Member also occur in Sweden. The 12 non-asaphid trilobites described herein belong to the families Metagnostidae, Shumardiidae, Remopleurididae, Nileidae, Cyclopygidae, Raphiophoridae, Alsataspididae and Pliomeridae. One new species is described; Robergiella tjemviki n. sp. Ole A. Hoel, Paleontologisk Museum, Sars gate l, N-0562 Oslo, Norway. Introduction contemporaneous platform deposits in Sweden are domi­ nated by a condensed limestone succession. In Norway, the The Tremadoc-Arenig Boundary interval is a crucial point Tøyen Formation is divided into two members: the lower in the evolution of several invertebrate groups, especially among the graptolites and the trilobites. In the graptolites, this change consisted most significantly in the loss of bithekae and a strong increase in diversity.

  • The Carboniferous Evolution of Nova Scotia
    Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 27, 2021 The Carboniferous evolution of Nova Scotia J. H. CALDER Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 698, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3J 2T9 Abstract: Nova Scotia during the Carboniferous lay at the heart of palaeoequatorial Euramerica in a broadly intermontane palaeoequatorial setting, the Maritimes-West-European province; to the west rose the orographic barrier imposed by the Appalachian Mountains, and to the south and east the Mauritanide-Hercynide belt. The geological affinity of Nova Scotia to Europe, reflected in elements of the Carboniferous flora and fauna, was mirrored in the evolution of geological thought even before the epochal visits of Sir Charles Lyell. The Maritimes Basin of eastern Canada, born of the Acadian-Caledonian orogeny that witnessed the suture of Iapetus in the Devonian, and shaped thereafter by the inexorable closing of Gondwana and Laurasia, comprises a near complete stratal sequence as great as 12 km thick which spans the Middle Devonian to the Lower Permian. Across the southern Maritimes Basin, in northern Nova Scotia, deep depocentres developed en echelon adjacent to a transform platelet boundary between terranes of Avalon and Gondwanan affinity. The subsequent history of the basins can be summarized as distension and rifting attended by bimodal volcanism waning through the Dinantian, with marked transpression in the Namurian and subsequent persistence of transcurrent movement linking Variscan deformation with Mauritainide-Appalachian convergence and Alleghenian thrusting. This Mid- Carboniferous event is pivotal in the Carboniferous evolution of Nova Scotia. Rapid subsidence adjacent to transcurrent faults in the early Westphalian was succeeded by thermal sag in the later Westphalian and ultimately by basin inversion and unroofing after the early Permian as equatorial Pangaea finally assembled and subsequently rifted again in the Triassic.

Restudy of the Cambrian–Ordovician boundary beds, traditionally assigned to the Mila Formation Member 5 in Mila- Kuh, northern Iran, for the first time provides convincing evidence of the Early Ordovician (Tremadocian) age of the uppermost part of the Mila Formation. Two succeeding trilobite assemblages typifying the Asaphellus inflatus–Dactylocephalus and Psilocephalina lubrica associations have been recognized in the uppermost part of the unit. The Tremadocian trilobite fauna of Mila-Kuh shows close similarity to contemporaneous trilobite faunas of South China down to the species level, while affinity to the Tremadocian fauna of Central Iran is low.

  • Karapınar Yoncasının Markalaşmasına Ve Pazarlanmasına Yönelik Araştırma Çalışmaları Proje No; TR52/12/TD/01/12
    Karapınar Yoncasının Markalaşmasına ve Pazarlanmasına Yönelik Araştırma Çalışmaları Proje No; TR52/12/TD/01/12 Hazırlayanlar Prof. Dr. Süleyman SOYLU Prof. Dr. Bayram SADE Doç. Dr. Yusuf ÇELİK 2012-KONYA 1 ÖNSÖZ Türkiye’de 2010 yılı itibariyle 11.454.526 büyükbaş, 29.382.924 küçükbaş hayvan varlığı vardır. Hayvansal üretimde vazgeçilemeyen tek yem grubu kaba yemlerdir. Bir dizi kaynaktan üretilebilirler. Halihazırda ülkemizde çayır-mer'a kaynaklı üretilen kuru ot miktarı ihtiyacı karşılamaktan çok uzaktır. Ülkemizdeki hayvanların önemli bir kısmı kalitesi ve enerji değeri düşük kaba yemlerle beslenmektedir. Mevcut kaba yem varlığının, ülke hayvan varlığının yaşam enerji gereksinimini karşıladığı ve fakat protein açısından yetersiz kaldığı hesaplanmıştır. Ülkemizde üretilen kaba yemlerin niteliği, genelde düşüktür. O nedenle, kaba yem kaynaklı hayvansal ürün elde etme şansımız tam olarak kullanılmış değildir. Bu yüzden ilk sırada nitelik üzerinde durulması gerekir. Kaliteli kaba yem üretiminde en önemli bitki yoncadır. Ülkemiz içerisinde Konya ili, Konya ili içersinde de Karapınar ilçesi yonca üretiminde en ön sıralarda yer almaktadır. Yonca hayvan beslemede gerek ülkemizde ve gerekse dünya genelinde yoğun olarak kullanılmaktadır. Yaş ve kuru ot olarak tüketilebildiği gibi silajı yapılarak da kullanılabilmektedir. Yonca protein, mineral maddeler, iz elementler ve vitaminler bakımından oldukça zengin ve nitelikli ot vermektedir. Oldukça yüksek bir verim gücüne sahiptir. Karapınar gerek Konya gerekse Türkiye içerisinde yonca üretiminde en önemli merkez olmasına rağmen üretilen ürünün gerçek değerini bulmada eksiklikleri bulunmaktadır. Karapınar İlçesinde tarım ve hayvancılık sektörü istihdam ve üretim bakımdan en önemli sektördür. Karapınar ilçesi son 10 yıldır yonca ekim alanı ve üretiminin artması ile birlikte hayvancılık sektörü istihdam ve geçim kaynağı açısından çok önemli hale gelmiştir.

    G. DEMİREL, G. KAŞIK Turk J Bot 36 (2012) 95-100 © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/bot-1010-12 Four new records for Physarales from Turkey Gönül DEMİREL, Gıyasettin KAŞIK Biology Department, Science Faculty, Selçuk University, 42031 Konya - TURKEY Received: 06.10.2010 Accepted: 17.06.2011 Abstract: Physarum didermoides (Pers.) Rostaf., Physarum gyrosum Rostaf., Didymium karstensii Nann.-Bremek., and Didymium trachysporum G.Lister, taxa grown by moist chamber culture method, are 4 new records from Turkey. Key words: Physarales, Physarum, Didymium, new record, Konya, Turkey Türkiye’den Physarales için dört yeni kayıt Özet: Nem odası tekniğiyle geliştirilen Physarum didermoides (Pers.) Rostaf., Physarum gyrosum Rostaf., Didymium karstensii Nann.-Bremek., Didymium trachysporum G.Lister taksonları Türkiye’den 4 yeni kayıttır. Anahtar sözcükler: Physarales, Physarum, Didymium, yeni kayıt, Konya, Türkiye Introduction show parallelism. In recent years some macrofungi Myxomycetes (plasmodial slime moulds) are and Myxomycetes have been added to the Turkish primitive phagotrophic eukaryotes that generally myxobiota by some researchers (Dülger, 2008; occur in association with decaying or living plant Doğan & Karadelev, 2009; Alkan et al., 2010; Doğan material in terrestrial forest ecosystems. Th e et al., 2011). To date, only 1974 macrofungi and 222 Myxomycetes life cycle involves 2 morphologically Myxomycetes taxa have been determined in Turkey distinct stages: one consisting of uninucleate amoebae, (Sesli & Denchev, 2010). with or without fl agella, and the other a distinctive multinucleate structure, plasmodium (Martin et al., 1983). A signifi cant number of Myxomycetes samples Materials and methods are cosmopolite organisms. Th e materials appropriate for the growth of Th e climate and ecologic features of Turkey are Myxomycetes were collected in Hadim (Konya, very suitable for the growth of fungi (especially Turkey) district on various occasions during the macrofungi and Myxomycetes).
