ABSTRACT
The Central Pontides of northern Turkey is one of the best
exposed segments of the southern margin of Eurasia adjacent to the Tethys Ocean, at least
from the Paleozoic onward, and its history can be taken as a guide to the tectonic
evolution of the Pontides as a whole. A number of east-west-trending tectonic units record
subduction-accretion and the growth of the south Eurasian margin. The Central Pontides
also document Lower Cretaceous lithospheric extension related to opening of the Black Sea
during the Late Mesozoic-Early Tertiary, and a later active margin and collisional
history.
