Geochemical characteristics of the Eocene Karataş volcanics (Northeast Sivas, Turkey) in the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture Zone

Karataş volcanics, is the product of Eocene volcanics crop out in the form of two belts along the northern and southern boundaries of the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture Zone. According to geochemical data, these volcanics have alkaline basic-intermediate character and consist of basaltic trachyandesite, trachyandesite and trachyte. This volcanic activity has been controlled by fractional crystallization and crustal contamination from basaltic trachyandesite to trachyte. Orientation of the samples towards amphibole area on the Rb/Sr - Ba/Rb ratio diagrams, dispersion of the Zr/Ba ratios (0.08 - 0.33) in the lithospheric mantle range, increase in the Ba/Rb ratio, decreases in the MgO, Ni and Cr contents point out that this volcanism originated from enriched lithospheric mantle rather than asthenospheric mantle. Geochemical data show that this enriched lithospheric mantle material is upper continental crustal material, main part of enrichment resulted by the subduction related fluids and also the contribution of the sedimentary materials. This situation may be explained that; the melts, derived from N-MORB or OIB bearing material ascended into the continental crust in a pre-collisional period and were reactivated by extensional tectonic and/or delamination processes during the post-collisional period, possibly caused the partial melting within the upper continental crust and produced the Karataş volcanics.
