| Abstract: | The Neogene succession in the western margin of Çank?r? Basin is fragmented by a NNE‐trending tectonic sliver having normal faulted western and thrusted eastern margins. This newly recognized E‐vergent sliver was created by the NW–SE compression due to the North Anatolian and K?r?kkale–Erbaa Fault zones following late Pliocene, accommodating the internal deformation of the Anatolian plate. Determinations of the K?lçak, Kumarta? and Hançili formations on both sides of this tectonic sliver invalidate the stratigraphical, structural and basin evolution models previously proposed by Kaymakç?. |
