| Abstract: | The Gulf of Saros is an Upper Miocene transtensional basin in NW Anatolia, formed by the interaction between the North Anatolian
Fault and the N-S extensional tectonic régime of the Aegean. The present configuration of the basin evolved mainly during
the Plio-Quaternary under the increased activity of the North Anatolian Fault. During the late Miocene-late Quaternary, no
sedimentation took place on the shelves. After this long hiatus, an important change in tectonic style about 0.2 Ma BP allowed
sedimentation to resume in the gulf.
