This field-trip advisor explores the tectonics of Samos and the Menderes Massif, attention-grabbing components in the japanese Mediterranean component of the Tethyan orogen. The consultant comprises distinctive outcrop descriptions, maps, and diagrams to discover along-strike adaptations within the Hellenide-Anatolide orogen, together with the structure of the Early Tertiary Alpine nappe stack and its robust Miocene extensional overprint. The urged itinerary relies at the 2010 Geological Society of the United States box discussion board: "Significance of Along-Strike diversifications for the three-D structure of Orogens: The Hellenides and Anatolides within the jap Mediterranean." The outcrop descriptions commence with Day 1 in Samos, the place, atypically for the N-S-stretched Aegean quarter, Miocene extension is E-W. the focal point of Day 2 is on high-pressure assemblages in northern Samos. the subsequent 3 days discover the Anatolide Belt in western Turkey, the place the Menderes nappes-also referred to as the Menderes Massif-form the tectonic footwall less than the Cycladic Blueschist Unit.

A Google Earth file containing the localities is available in the GSA Data Repository (see footnote 1). Outcrop access. Overall exposures of rocks in western Turkey is variable and ranges from good exposures in cliffs, road cuts, and along the Aegean coastline to relatively poor exposures in vegetated areas or land used for agriculture, grazing, or horticulture.
1995), whereas the Bozdağ Nappe is composed of amphibolite-facies garnet-mica schist and metabasite. The DPA event in the Bozdağ and Çine Nappes occurred during amphibolite-facies metamorphism at ca. , 2001a) over wide areas of the Menderes Massif. DPA was overprinted by a DA3 greenschistfacies tectono-metamorphic event. The corresponding SA3 foliation crosscuts SPA and produced a variably spaced shear-band foliation and a well-defined stretching lineation associated with top-to-the-S kinematic indicators in both nappes and also in Triassic metagranite (Figs.
Metaconglomerate layers and metapelitic layers of the Dilek Nappe alternate in this area, the former showing stretched pebbles and the latter, chloritoid-kyanite schists at the top of the road cut. In some areas the coarser LA2 can be seen folded around DA3 fold axes (Fig. 35). The base of the valley, accessible by crossing the road and continuing to about the area where a Roman aqueduct bridge crosses the creek bed, also provides opportunities to observe the orientations of the two lineations.
