The Hercynian Köse composite pluton (KCP) is located in the Eastern Pontides, Turkey, and
consists of two units of high-K calc-alkaline, primarily peraluminous granites:(i) the internal …

The geodynamic evolution of Turkey is mainly controlled by drift and collision of a number
oceanic and continental plates or terranes. This can be ascribed to four orogenic episodes …

The tectonic setting of the Eastern Pontides during the late Mesozoic to early Cenozoic
remains a subject of debate. Petrogenesis of adakite-like granitoid porphyries plays a critical …

Petrography and geochemistry of sandstone for the lower Oligocene volcanic-related
sandstones of Abbasabad-Kahak area, NE Iran, are detected to decipher provenance …

Small granitoids emplaced into the early Jurassic volcani-clastic succession in the Yusufeli
area, northeastern Turkey, can be temporally and geochemically classified into two groups …

Petrography and geochemistry (major, trace and rare earth elements) of clastic rocks from
the Lower Cambrian Lalun Formation, in the Posht-e-badam block, Central Iran, have been …

The Jurassic volcanic rocks in the centre of the northern zone (south of Trabzon City)
provide important constraints on the evolution of Pontides. The investigated volcanic rocks …

Abstract Early Carboniferous–Eocene units exposed in the Arvin area document the
development of the southerly, active continental margin of Eurasia. The oldest rocks …

Whole-rock geochemistry, 40Ar–39Ar data, and Sr–Nd isotopes are presented for the
Eocene Borçka volcanic rocks on the eastern corner of the eastern Pontide orogenic belt …

Magmatic arcs are zones of high heat flow; however, examples of metamorphic belts formed
under magmatic arcs are rare. In the Pontides in northern Turkey, along the southern active …
