“…At the same time, HT-MP metamorphism was recorded in the overriding plate (i.e. the CACC), where several MCCs were subsequently exhumed in an extensional context [Whitney et al, 2003;Lefebvre et al, 2011].…”

“…At the same time, regional HT-MP metamorphism (i.e. ~6 kbar, ~725 °C) affected the CACC, which subsequently underwent exhumation and cooling as MCCs along detachments (figure 5) [Whitney et al, 2003;Lefebvre et al, 2011].…”

Sorgun-Yıldızeli basin is an east-west trending asymmetric marginal foreland (peripheral foreland basin) formed as a result of the consumption of oceanic crust of the northern branch of Neotethys due to the collision of Sakarya continent in the north and Kırşehir Block in the south. It provides much information about the geodynamic evolution of the region. The basement of the study area consists of Late Palaeozoic-Mesozoic Akdağmadeni Massif. Akdağmadeni Massif was intruded by CenomanianMaastrichtian granitoids and is overlain tectonically by Late Cretaceous Artova ophiolitic melange within the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan suture zone and by Cenomanian-Maastrichtian Darmik Formation. The uppermost section of the sequence which consists of generally clastic and coarse clastics is named the Konacı member. When the sedimentation and volcanism continued in the basin, gabbroic intrusions occurred as sills and laccoliths cutting the Boğazköy Formation. These gabbroic rocks were named the Yaycılar Gabbro. The age of 51.0 ± 0.7 Ma was found for the Yaycılar Gabbro with the 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronologic method. As a result of slab breakoff, the relicts of the consumed oceanic crust and the released massif were uplifted rapidly and the units of Middle-Late Eocene Tokuş Formation were deposited transgressively on the Boğazköy Formation and on outcropping basement rocks in the basin which was controlled by an extensional tectonic regime. Upper Miocene-Pliocene (İncesu Formation), Pliocene and Quaternary terrestrial sediments were deposited unconformably on all older units.
