GEOLOGY, STRUCTURAL FEATURES AND SULPHIDE AND MANGANESE OCCURRENCES OF THE HOPA-ARHAVİ AREA (NE TURKEY)

Year 1976, Volume: 87 Issue: 87, 1 - 22, 01.04.1976

Abstract

The area investigated is situated in the well-known mining district of Hopa-Murgul-Artvin.
It is built of volcanic-sedimentary, effusive and intrusive rocks. The age of rocks ranges from Senonian to Quaternary.
The basic volcanic-sedimentary series have been studied and subdivided in detail. Microfauna points to the SantonianCampanian-Maestrichtian
stage. Acid volcanic-sedimentary complex overlies the basic series. This complex is characterized
by rhythmical alternations of different facies, which vertically and laterally thin out passing into homotaxial facies
of tuffaceous, argillaceous and marly sandstones whose age ranges from Maestrichtian to Lutetian. Intrusive rocks are
built of diorite and gabbro, granodiorite and quartz diorite and biotite granite. They were most likely formed in OligoceneMiocene
period. Reactivated volcanism in Tertiary produced augite-hornblende andesite and augite-diabase and basalt,
mostly in the form of veins and sills. Geotectonically the region under investigation belongs to the Pontid-Adjaro-Trialete
tectonic unit. All rocks of this geotectonic unit were formed in the eugeosyncline whose petrological character is volcanic-sedimentary.
Tectonically, faults are predominant although the plicative forms are noticed, whose folds axes have
ENE-WSW strike, in general. Mineral occurrences are divided into pyrite, manganese and skarn type according to their
composition and genesis.

HOPA-ARHAVİ BÖLGESİNİN JEOLOJİSİ, YAPISAL ÖZELLİKLERİ İLE SÜLFİT VE MANGANEZ ZUHURLARI (NE TÜRKİYE)

Abstract

 İnceleme sahası, bilinen Hopa-Murgul-Artvin madencilik bölgesinde yer almakta olup, volkanik-sedimenter,
efüzif ve İntruzif kayaçlardan oluşmaktadır. Bu kayaçların yaşı, Senoniyenden Kuvaternere kadar uzanmaktadır.
Bölgedeki bazik volkanik-sedimenter seri etüt edilmiş ve detaylı olarak alt bölümlere ayrılmıştır. Bölgedeki mevcut mikrofauna,
Santoniyen-Kampaniyen-Mestrihtiyene işaret etmektedir. Bazik seri üzerinde, asit volkanik-sedimenter kompleks
yer almakta olup, bu kompleks farklı fasiyeslerin oluşturdukları ritmik alterasyonlar tarafından karakterize edilmektedir.
Söz konusu fasiyesler de gerek yanal, gerekse düşey yönde incelerek, yaşı Mestrihtiyenle Lütesiyen arasında uzanan homotaksiyal
tüflü, arjilli ve marnlı kumtaşlarına geçiş gösterirler. İntruzif kayaçlar, diyorit ve gabro, granodiyorit, kuvars
diyorit, biyotit granitten oluşmuşlardır. Bunlar büyük bir ihtimalle Oligosen-Miyosende oluşmuşlardır. Tersiyerde volkanizmanın
yeniden canlanması sonucu, ojit-hornblend andezit, ojit-diyabaz ve bazaltlar teşekkül etmiş olup, bu kayaçlar
çoğunlukla damar ve siller şeklinde görülürler, inceleme sahası, jeotektonik bakımdan, Pontid-Adjaro-Trialet tektonik
ünitesine mensuptur. Bu jeotektonik ünitedeki tüm kayaçlar, petrolojik karakteri volkanik-sedimenter olan bir öjeosenklinalde
oluşmuşlardır. Tektonik olarak, faylar hâkimdir; bununla beraber, eksenleri ENE-WSW doğrultulu olan ince kıvrımlı
(plicative) formlara da rastlanır. Mineral zuhurları, bileşimleri ve jenezlerine göre pirit, manganez ve skarn tipi olmak
üzere üç bölüme ayrılmaktadır.
