Abstract

The northern border of the Menderes Massif is dominated by gneiss-schist-marble association and meta-granites. The high-grade units of the massif are tectonically overlain by a meta-platform sequence of the Afyon Zone and the Cretaceous-early Tertiary HP/LT Tavsanli Zone. The Simav Magmatic Complex, comprising the shallow-seated, I-type, calc-alkaline, post-collisional Egrigoz and Koyunoba granites, and associated subvolcanic-volcanic sequences crosscuts the Menderes Massif, Afyon Zone and tectonic contact between them.
