Abstract

The Aegean region (Western Anatolia, Aegean Sea and Greece) is one of the areas of the earth under the eflect of extensional tectonics and includes the typical features of core complexes in this type of region. The Menderes Massif in Western Anatolia was exhumed initially as an asymmetric core complex in the Early Miocene due to extension beginning in the Oligocene and then the central Menderes Massif was further exhumed as symmetric core complex. This article discusses the exhumation mechanisms of the Menderes Massif and development of surrounding sedimentary basins in light of new findings. The proposed model successfully explains, the location of the Oligocene Kale basin, diflerent movement directions of the Lycian nappes in northern and southern parts of the Datça—Kale Main Breakaway Fault and the top—to- the NNE directed shearing dominantly observed in the whole Menderes Massif.

Özet

Yeryuvarında genişlemeli tektoniğin etkisinde bulunan alanlardan biri olan Ege Bölgesi (Batı Anadolu, Ege Denizi ve Yunanistan), bu tür alanların tipik özelliği olan çekirdek komplekslerini içerir. Batı Anadolu'da bulunan Menderes masifi, Oligosen'de gelişmeye başlayan asimetrik çekirdek kompleksi olarak Erken Miyosen'de ilk yüzeylemesini ger-- çekleştirmiş ve sonrasında Orta Menderes masifi simetrik çekirdek kompleksi olarak tek-- rar yüzeylemiştir. Bu makale Menderes masifinin yüzeyleme mekanizmalarını ve üzerinde gelişen sedimanter havzaların gelişimini yeni bulgular ışığında tartışmaktadır. Önerilen model, Oligosen Kale havzasının konumunu, Likya naplarının Datça--Kale Ana Ayrılma Fayı kuzey ve güney kesimlerinde farklı yönlere hareketini ve tüm Menderes masifinde baskın olarak görülen üst--KKD yönlü makaslamayı sorunsuz olarak açıklamaktadır.
