Özet

The western part of the Aegean region includes several Neogene basins containing volcano-sedimentary successions. The Neogene basins, located along the northern Menderes Extensional Metamorphic Complex (MEMC) were developed during the Miocene as supra-detachment basins. They contain two distinct volcano-sedimentary successions, separated by a regional unconformity. The basins located to the west of the MEMC were developed as strike-slip basins and contain volcanic and sedimentary units getting younger from NE to SW with no remarkable unconformity.
