Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, Miami University, Geology and Environmental Earth Science.
This study documents the internal structure, stratigraphy and tectonic evolution of the middle Miocene–Quaternary Aksu sedimentary basin (AB) within the Tauride mountain belt in SW Anatolia. The NNW-trending, ~80-km-wide AB is separated in the east from a basement high composed of the Triassic-Cretaceous tectonostratigraphic units of the Tauride carbonate platform by a right-oblique normal fault system, not by a west-vergent thrust fault as previously suggested (“Aksu Thrust”). The sedimentary fill of AB consists of shallow marine to deltaic, lacustrine, fluvial-alluvial fan deposits, and becomes progressively younger toward the south (Antalya Bay). These rock units are crosscut by syn-depositional, NE-SW-oriented normal faults and NNW-SSE-oriented oblique-slip faults, collectively representing a dextral transtensional stress regime, which has controlled the accommodation space in the basin. AB and the adjacent Koprucay and Manavgat sedimentary basins evolved in a regional dextral transcurrent fault system in the upper plate of the left-oblique convergent margin of the Cyprean (Cyprus) Arc to the SE.
