Geochemistry and geochronology of orthogneisses in the Derbent (Alaşehir) area, eastern part of the Ödemiş-Kiraz submassif, Menderes Massif: Pan-African magmatic activity

Geochemistry and geochronology of orthogneisses in the Derbent (Alaşehir) area, eastern part of the Ödemiş-Kiraz submassif, Menderes Massif: Pan-African magmatic activity

Menderes Masifi'nin Pan-Afrikan yaşlı temel kayaları ve Paleozoyik örtü serileri Ödemiş-Kiraz asmasifi'nin doğusunda yer alan Derbent (Alaşehir) çevresinde yüzlek vermektedir. Pan-Afrikan temele ait granat-mika şistler, ortognayslar ve Triyas yaşlı lökokratik ortognaysların ilksel kayaları tarafından intrüze olmuşlardır. Bu çalışma, Proterozoyik sonunda Menderes Masifi'nin Pan-Afrikan evrimiyle ilişkili olan ortognaysların jeokimyası ve jeokronolojisi üzerinedir. Jeokimyasal veriler ortognaysların S-tipli, peralumino ve kalkalkalen karakterli, sin-/post-tektonik granitoyidlerden türediğini göstermektedir. Ortognayslardan ayrılan tipik magmatik ve öz şekilli zirkonlardan Pb-Pb evaporasyon yöntemiyle yaş tayinleri yapılmıştır, iki örneğin tek zirkon 207Pb/206Pb yaşları ortalama 561.5+1.8 my ve 570.5±2.2 my olarak elde edilmiştir. Bu yaşlar ortognaysların ilksel kayalarının sokulum yaşı olarak yorumlanmıştır. Menderes Masifi'ndeki bu ana magmatik olay okyanus havzalarının kapanması ve Doğu ve Batı Gondvana'nın çarpışmasına bağlantılı Pan-Afrikan orojeneziyle ilişkilendirilebilir.
