Abstract

We present a compilation and comparison of geochemical data of Aegean Eocene to Recent magmatic rocks: (1) North Anatolian Eocene magmatic rocks (NAEM), (2) Aegean to west Anatolian Oligocene-Miocene magmatic rocks (AOMM), (3) Pliocene-Quaternary South Aegean volcanic arc (SAVA), (4) Pliocene-Quaternary Denizli-Isparta volcanics (DIV), and (5) Na-alkaline basalts with intra-plate geochemical affinity (IPV). These rocks are also compared with Miocene Galatean volcanics (GVP) from central Anatolia.
