A belt formed by a number of granitoid intrusions is situated at the western part of the Central Anatolian
Crystalline Massif. One of the granitoid intrusion at the southwest of the belt cropsout between Aksaray and Ortaköy and is
called Ekecikdağ. Ekecikdağ granitoid, which is composed of monzogranites and granodiorites. intruded both the metamorphic
and ophiolitic host rocks. Ekecikdağ granitoid is differentiated into following subunits with respect to their petrographical and
chemical composition: Borucu granodiorite-monzogranite, Sinandi mikrogranite, Hisarkaya porphyribc granite, Kalebalta
teucogranite and aplite granite. All these subunits are genetically related to each other. Borucu granodiorite-monzogranite
represents the main magmatic phase whereas aplite granite the latest. Ekecikdağ granitoid has a calcalkaline character and
show aluminocafemic trend. It has features which favour both I and S types of granite. Enclaves observed in granitoid is thought
to be xenoliths derived from pre-existing gabbroic rocks during the emplacement of the granitic magma. The geochemical data
suggest a post collisional tectonic setting and a continental crustal source for Ekecikdağ granitoid. In regard to regional data,
during Upper Cretaceous, the existence of an ensimatic arc to the north of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Massif is
suggested. It is also proposed that collision and obduction of this ensimatic are on to the Central Anatolian continental crust
caused crustal thickening and increase in the geothermal gradient in the region. This gave rise to the partial melting of the
continental crust and to the formation of a granitic magma.
