“…The Aladag locality is based on four sites sampled in folded Oligocene continental red sandstones and silts of the Karsantı Basin overlying the Taurides (Ünlügenç and Akıncı, 2015) near Aladag village east of the EFZ (Fig. 2).…”

Abstract. To quantitatively reconstruct the kinematic evolution of Central and Eastern Anatolia within the framework of Neotethyan subduction accommodating Africa-Eurasia convergence, we paleomagnetically assess the timing and amount of vertical axis rotations across the Ulukışla and Sivas regions. We show paleomagnetic results from ∼ 30 localities identifying a coherent rotation of a SE Anatolian rotating block comprised of the southern Kırşehir Block, the Ulukışla Basin, the Central and Eastern Taurides, and the southern part of the Sivas Basin. Using our new and published results, we compute an apparent polar wander path (APWP) for this block since the Late Cretaceous, showing that it experienced a ∼ 30-35 • counterclockwise vertical axis rotation since the Oligocene time relative to Eurasia. Sediments in the northern Sivas region show clockwise rotations. We use the rotation patterns together with known fault zones to argue that the counterclockwise-rotating domain of south-central Anatolia was bounded by the Savcılı Thrust Zone and Deliler-Tecer Fault Zone in the north and by the African-Arabian trench in the south, the western boundary of which is poorly constrained and requires future study. Our new paleomagnetic constraints provide a key ingredient for future kinematic restorations of the Anatolian tectonic collage.

“…The study area is situated in the east of the relatively isolated Karsantı basin (see Figure 1(b)), which formed during Oligocene time [34,[36][37][38] within the westernmost part of the eastern Taurides [33,39], immediately to the north of the extensively studied Adana basin [40][41][42][43][44][45]. The geological formations found in the region range in age from Mesozoic to Cenozoic and represent highly complex tectonic and stratigraphic relationships [36,46] (Figures 3(a) and 3(b)).…”

“…Karaisalı formation occupies topographically higher parts of the study area (e.g., Korum Mountain) and is highly susceptible to karstification, as evidenced by the prevalence of sinkholes. A detailed synthesis of both regional and local tectonic framework and evolution of the Karsantı basin can be found in [34,38].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate natural and anthropogenic processes governing the chemical composition of alkaline groundwater within a fractured rock (ophiolitic mélange) aquifer underlying a seasonally inhabited headwater area in the Aladaglar Range (Adana, Turkey). In this aquifer, spatiotemporal patterns of groundwater flow and chemistry were investigated during dry (October 2011) and wet (May 2012) seasons utilizing 25 shallow hand-dug wells. In addition, representative samples of snow, rock, and soil were collected and analyzed to constrain the PHREEQC inverse geochemical models used for simulating waterrock interaction (WRI) processes. Hydrochemistry of the aquifer shows a strong interseasonal variability where Mg-HCO 3 and Mg-Ca-HCO 3 water types are prevalent, reflecting the influence of ophiolitic and carbonate rocks on local groundwater chemistry. R-mode factor analysis of hydrochemical data hints at geochemical processes taking place in the groundwater system, that is, WRI involving Ca-and Si-bearing phases; WRI involving amorphous oxyhydroxides and clay minerals; WRI involving Mg-bearing phases; and atmospheric/anthropogenic inputs. Results from the PHREEQC modeling suggested that hydrogeochemical evolution is governed by weathering of primary minerals (calcite, chrysotile, forsterite, and chromite), precipitation of secondary minerals (dolomite, quartz, clinochlore, and Fe/Cr oxides), atmospheric/anthropogenic inputs (halite), and seasonal dilution from recharge.
