BRIEF NOTE ON NEOGENE VOLCANISM in KEMALPAŞA–TORBALI BASIN (İZMİR)

This study was made in order to introduce Neogene volcanics the first time, which its presence has not been mentioned in previous investigations (Akdeniz et al., 1986; İnci, 1991; Kaya et al., 2007; Sözbilir et al., 2011), in Kemalpaşa–Torbalı basin corresponding to Torbalı section of the Akhisar Depression (Kaya, 1979; 1981) and to state their K/Ar ages.
