Abstract

Central Anatolia exhibits good examples of calc-alkaline and alkaline magmatism of similar age in a collision-related tectonic setting (continent-island arc collision). In the Central Anatolia region, late Cretaceous post-collisional plutonic rocks intrude Palaeozoic-Mesozoic metamorphic rocks overthrust by Upper Cretaceous ophiolithic units to Make up the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex.
