Facies Characteristics And Control Mechanisms Of Quaternary Deposits In The Tuz Gölü Basin, Alper Gürbüz, Nizamettin Kazancı Dec 2014

Facies Characteristics And Control Mechanisms Of Quaternary Deposits In The Tuz Gölü Basin, Alper Gürbüz, Nizamettin Kazancı

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Although there are several studies discussing the pre-Neogene development of the Lake Tuz basin, which is the largest terrestrial basin in Turkey, investigations delineating the characteristics of the Neogene and particularly Quaternary period of this basin are quite limited. Whereas studies regarding such periods of the basin are quite informative for both active tectonics and climate change issues that are of significant public concern. In this study, results of field observations on temporal and spatial characteristics of Quaternary deposits in the Lake Tuz Basin and processes controlling these features are presented. For this, as a result of sequence studies conducted …

Protolith Nature And Tectonomagmatic Features Of Amphibolites From The Qushchi Area, West Azerbaijan, Nw Iran, Mohssen Moazzen

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Amphibolites from the Qushchi area in west Azerbaijan province, NW Iran are metabasites containing hornblende, plagioclase, epidote, garnet, relict igneous clinopyroxene and titanite, apatite and opaque minerals as accessory phases. They are spatially associated with an ophiolitic mélange but their relationship is not clear. Based on whole rock geochemistry of the amphibolites, they are formed from sub-alkaline andesite-basalt with a tholeiitic affinity. TiO2 content of the analyzed amphibolite samples is mainly less than 1%, indicating an E-MORB original character for the magma. Major and trace element geochemistry of the studied rocks indicate a volcanic arc setting for the rocks. Chemistry …

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Surface water and sediments derived from the southern Marmara region (= Susurluk
Drainage basin- SDH) transport to lakes Manyas and Ulubat first and then go to the Sea of
Marmara via the Kocasu River only. The present drainage system of the SDH provides a good
opportunity to study erosion rate and subsequently occurrence times of large-scale valleys in
the region. To achieve it, depositional characteristics and ion contents of the ancient
lacustrine sediment has been investigated and re-interpreted using cores taken from Lake

Original Findings On The Ore-Bearing Facies Of Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Deposits In The Eastern Black Sea Region (Ne Turkey), M.Kemal Revan, Yurdal Genç, V. Valery Maslennikov, Taner Ünlü, Okan Deli̇baş, Semi Hamzaçebi̇

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

In the massive sulphide deposits of the eastern Black Sea region, there are ore facies and ore-bearing sedimentary facies. The former are subdivided into hydrothermal-metasomatic, seafloor hydrothermal, and biological facies. Hydrothermal-metasomatic facies refer to sub-seafloor processes and include network-disseminated, massive vein, and massive lens facies. The precipitation of sulphide minerals within pre-existing volcano-sedimentary rocks occurs largely beneath the seafloor, and these ores form an important component of some deposits. The term seafloor hydrothermal facies refers to sulphide accumulation on the seafloor and is characterised by hydrothermal chimneys and clastic sulphide ores. Clastic sulphide ores can be subdivided into proximal and …
