Petrographic study of the elastics carried out on sandstones (Dickinson, 1982) have shown that these rocks had a "recycled orogen provenance", and that the sequences in the region had been deposited during the Upper CretaceousLower Tertiary around an active collision zone of plates in relation with a subduction facies.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:In the present work, the Upper Cretaceous-Lower Tertiary sequence in the zone named as Ankara Virgation, covering Haymana-Polath, Northern Tuz Gölü, and Kırıkkale-Yahşihan regions in SW-NE direction has been studied from the sedimentary - geological point of view, and the sedimentological and sedimentary petrological properties of those three basins have been correlated.
📊
Key Findings & Data:It has been determined that detritic sequences in all three basins have similar petrographical properties with the exception of certain micro - mineralogical differences, and that the arenites and other detritic materials in the region have been derived from the magmatic and metamorphic rocks situated roughly in the North and the South.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Petrographic study of the elastics carried out on sandstones (Dickinson, 1982) have shown that these rocks had a "recycled orogen provenance", and that the sequences in the region had been deposited during the Upper CretaceousLower Tertiary around an active collision zone of plates in relation with a subduction facies.
