“…8 in Hässig et al, 2013a). Vincent et al (2005) correlate the structures of the southernmost Lesser Caucasus with the ones of the Iranian Alborz range along the arcuate Talysh mountains. This interpretation is shared by Gamkrelidze (1986), Zonenshain and Le Pichon (1986), and Brunet et al (2003), who link the Yerevan-Ordubad tectonic zone with the Talysh basin along the Caspian Sea (Fig.…”

“…The Talysh mountains and the adjoining Alborz range are interpreted as back-arc systems during the Eocene, followed by Late Eocene to Early Oligocene basin inversion, uplift and transpression attributed to the initiation of the Arabian-Eurasian collision (Ismail-Zadeh et al, 1995;Brunet et al, 2003;Vincent et al, 2005;Adamia et al, 2010;Ballato et al, 2010;Verdel et al, 2011;Asiabanha and Foden, 2012). In the Lesser Caucasus, Paleocene to late-Middle Eocene thick molasse series were deposited in a foreland basin to the southwest of the Somkheto-Karabagh belt ( Fig.…”

Middle Eocene paleomagnetic data from the eastern Sakarya Zone and the central Pontides: Implications for the tectonic evolution of north central Anatolia

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A paleomagnetic investigation has been carried out on Middle Eocene volcanic rocks at 23 sites in the eastern Sakarya Zone and the central Pontides of north central Anatolia in order to better understand the regional tectonic evolution of the main zones of northeastern Anatolia in the Middle Eocene. The results constrain the tectonic evolution of the area when evaluated in conjunction with earlier published paleomagnetic directions from 92 localities. Small counterclockwise rotations in the range of R ± ΔR = −1.3 ± 1.4° to R ± ΔR = −17.2 ± 16.8°, with respect to Eurasia, are observed in the central Pontides on the northern side of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Clockwise rotations ranging between R ± ΔR = 8.5 ± 15.1° and R ± ΔR = 29.7 ± 12.0° are observed between the NAF and the Sungurlu Fault (SF), in the eastern Sakarya zone. Counterclockwise rotations of R ± ΔR = −18.9 ± 12.4° to R ± ΔR = −42.2 ± 6.9° are observed to the south of the SF. Our findings, combined with previous data, support the indentation model of Kaymakcı et al. (2000, 2003a, 2003b), which postulates the collision and northeast directed indentation of the Kırşehir Block into the Sakarya Zone. This model, which was developed to explain the evolution of the Çankırı Basin, can also explain the variable magnitudes of paleomagnetically determined rotations, thrust directions, and the curvature of the North Anatolian ophiolite belt.

Tectonic magnetic lineation and oroclinal bending of the Alborz range: Implications on the Iran-Southern Caspian geodynamics

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this study we use the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and paleomagnetic data for deciphering the origin of magnetic lineation in weakly deformed sedimentary rocks and for evaluating oroclinal processes within the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. In particular, we have analyzed the Miocene Upper Red Formation (URF) from the outer curved front of the southern Central Alborz Mountains of north Iran, to test for the first time with paleomagnetic data the origin (primary versus secondary) of this orogenic arc. AMS data document the existence of a magnetic lineation parallel to the orientation of the major tectonic structures, which vary along strike from WNW to ENE. These directions are highly oblique to the paleoflow directions and hence suggest that the magnetic lineation in the URF was produced by compressional deformation during layer-parallel shortening. In addition, our paleomagnetic data document clockwise and anticlockwise rotations along vertical axis for the western and eastern sectors of the Central Alborz Mountains, respectively. Combined, our results suggest that the orogen represents an orocline, which formed not earlier than circa 7.6 Ma most likely through bending processes caused by the relative motion between the rigid crustal blocks of the collision zone. Moreover, our study provides new insights into the Iran-Southern Caspian Basin kinematic evolution suggesting that the present-day SW motion of the South Caspian Basin with respect to Central Iran postdates oroclinal bending and hence cannot be as old as late Miocene to early Pliocene but a rather recent configuration (i.e., 3 to <1 Ma).
