Bağdere Tufası’nın Jeolojik, Jeokimyasal ve Jeokronolojik Özellikleri (Elazığ, D Türkiye)

Öz

Çalışmaya konu olan tufa yüzleği, Türkiye’nin ikinci büyüklükteki neotektonik yapısı olan sol yanal doğrultu atımlı Doğu Anadolu Fay Sistemi’nin önemli zonlarından biri olan Elazığ Fay Zonu üstünde, Elazığ şehir merkezinin yaklaşık 20 km güneybatısında bulunur. Tufaların yanal-düşey ilişkili olduğu Kuvaterner yaşlı Palu Formasyonu, karasal kökenli kırıntılı çökellerle karakterize edilir. Tufa oluşumunda kaynak kaya rolü oynayan Devoniyen-Jura yaşlı Keban Metamorfitleri’nin Elazığ çevresindeki yüzlekleri, çoğunlukla mermerlerle karakterize edilir. Keban Metamorfitleri’nin litolojisi ve sol yanal doğrultu atımlı Elazığ Fay Zonu’nun meydana getirdiği kırıklı yapı, akışkan dolaşımında ve bundan dolayı tufanın oluşmasında önemli bir görev almıştır. Tufa örneklerinde belirlenen element miktarları, Ca: 384719-390151 ppm, Mg: 3498-4764 ppm, Sr: 112-338 ppm düzeyindedir. δ13C değerleri, 0.4 ila 2.6 (‰ PDP), δ18O değerleri ise -9.9 ila -11.4 (‰PDB) arasındadır. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, Bağdere tufasının, sığ göl ortamında oluştuğu düşünülmektedir. Örneklerden elde edilen U-Th yaş verileri, tufa çökeliminin günümüzden en azından 524,597 yıl önce başlamış olduğuna işaret etmektedir.
