Abstract

The Anamur region in the eastern part of the Alanya Massif is defined by high temperature metamorphism. Metamorphic rocks (Sarıağaç unit), under the conditions of the upper amphibolite facies which are interrupted by basic and acidic meta-magmatics in the region, constitute the para-autochtonous basis. Kapıdağ nappe, has undergone metamorphism the Barrow-type medium-pressure metamorphism in the greenschist facies is overlain by the tectonic contact of the Sarıağaç unit with the ductile conditions. The Kapıdağ nappe, which forms a regular and thick sequence, begins with a probable infra- cambrian aged assemblage in the base consisting of dolomite, marble, muscovite-quartz schist and chlorite schist alternation. This assemblage is overlain by low-grade metamorphics of Tauride units consist of quartzite, meta-carbonate and schists derived from Hüdai, Çaltepe and Seydişehir formations in Cambro-Ordovician aged. All these metamorphic units are unconformably overlain by conglomerates belonging to Late Eocene-Oligocene Anamur Formation and then Hadim nappe thrusted over to all units 

The metamorphism (M1) conditions of the high grade schists of the Sarıağaç unit are 7.7±0.7 kbar and 670±20°C. This high-grade assemblage underwent retrogration 5.1±0.3 kbar and 480±40°C (M2) in conditions. The dating of this metamorphism is 75-73 Ma (Campanian) based on Ar/Ar white mica aging. The age of M1 metamorphism could not be directly determined. Zircon ages of 550.2±8.2 Ma, which is interpreted as the age of crystallization of the primary acidic magmatics and the meta-aplites intersecting the regional foliation which is product of M1 metamorphism suggest that this metamorphism affecting the basement is probably Precambrian aged.

This data also reveals that the primary metaclastic rocks of the basement-forming metamorphic rocks are Precambrian aged. Given the paleogeographic location of the Alanya massif and geochronological data, the M1 metamorphism may be associated with the integration process of Gondwana’s Late Neoproterozoic. This high-grade basement was overprinted by the M2 metamorphism developed from the greenschist facies in the Late Cretaceous, associated with the closure of the southern part of the Neotethys ocean.

Anamur (Alanya Masifi, Mersin) Bölgesinde Yer Alan Prekambriyen Yaşlı Kayaçların Çok Evreli P-T-t Evrimi

Abstract

Alanya Masifi’nin doğu kesimde yer alan Anamur bölgesi yüksek sıcaklık metamorfizması ile tanımlanmaktadır. Bölgede bazik ve asidik meta-magmatikler tarafından kesilen, üst amfibolit fasiyesi koşullarında başkalaşıma uğramış metakırıntılılar (Sarıağaç birimi) paraotokton konumlu temeli oluşturmaktadır. Barrov türü orta basınç metamorfizmasının yeşilşist fasiyesi koşullarında başkalaşıma uğramış Kapıdağ napı, Sarıağaç birimini sünümlü koşullarda gelişmiş tektonik bir dokanakla üzerlemektedir. Düzenli ve kalın bir istif oluşturan Kapıdağ napı tabanda dolomit, mermer, muskovit- kuvars şist ve klorit şist ardalanmasından oluşan, olasılı İnfrakambriyen yaşlı topluluk ile başlamaktadır. Bu birim üzerine, Toros birliklerinin Kambro-ordovisiyen yaşlı Hüdai, Çaltepe ve Seydişehir formasyonlarından türeme, kuvarsit, meta-karbonat ve şistlerden yapılı düşük dereceli metamorfikler gelmektedir. Tüm bu metamorfik birimler Geç Eosen-Oligosen yaşlı Anamur Formasyonu’na ait çakıltaşları ile uyumsuz olarak örtülmekte ve Hadim napı tarafından tektonik olarak üzerlenmektedir.

Sarıağaç birimini oluşturan yüksek dereceli şistlerin metamorfizma (M1) koşulları 7.7±0.7 kbar basınç ve 670 ± 20°C sıcaklık olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu yüksek dereceli topluluk 5.1 ± 0.3 kbar basınç ve 480 ± 40°C sıcaklık koşullarında (M2) retrograd metamorfizmaya uğramıştır. Üzerleyen M2 metamorfizmasının yaşı beyaz mikalardan elde edilen Ar / Ar yaş belirlemesine göre 75 - 73 My (Kampaniyen) olarak bulunmuştur. M1 metamorfizmasının yaşı doğrudan belirlenememiştir. Fakat M1 metamorfizması ürünü bölgesel foliyasyonu kesen meta-aplitlerden elde edilen ve ilksel asidik magmatiklerin kristalizasyon yaşı olarak yorumlanan 550.2 ± 8.2 My U/Pb zirkon yaşları söz konusu temeli etkileyen bu metamorfizmanın olasılıkla Prekambriyen yaşlı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu veri ayrıca temeli oluşturan metakırıntılıların ilksel kayalarının Prekambriyen yaşlı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Alanya Masifi’nin paleocoğrafik konumu ve jeokronolojik veriler göz önüne alındığında, M1 metamorfizması Gondwana’nın Geç Neoproterozoyik’teki bütünleşme süreci ile ilişkilendirilebilmektedir. Bu yüksek dereceli temel Neotetis okyanusunun güney kolunun kapanması ile ilişkili olarak Geç Kretase’de yeşilşist fasiyesi koşullarından gelişen M2 metamorfizması tarafından üzerlenmiştir.
