Alaşehir type - rolling hinge mechanism in the northern margin of Büyük Menderes Graben: Evidence from seismic reflection and recent thermochronological data
Öz: Isotopic and thermochronological data were recently obtained from the footwall of the Büyük Menderes detachment ranges
from 29.0 ± 1.9 Ma (ZFT) to 1.6 ± 0.2 Ma (Ap U - Th / He), and they can be grouped in three different time intervals. These results are
well explained by the Alaşehir type-rolling hinge mechanism, which suggests active rotated initial normal fault during successive normal
fault development of the graben formation. This paper suggests that the Alaşehir type-rolling hinge mechanism is applicable to the
Büyük Menderes graben by using field observations, published isotopic / thermochronological and subsurface data. It also contributes
to the long-lasting discussion about the activation problem on the low-angle normal faults.
