Eolianite and coquinite as evidence of MIS 6 and 5, NW Black Sea coast, Turkey
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-04)
This paper discusses the implications of a lowstand carbonate eolianite and overlying transgressive sequence of coquinite at Şile on the Turkish Black Sea coast based on composition, depositional characteristics and optical ...
A Preliminary note on depositional characteristics and optical luminescence age of a marine terrace, strait of Canakkale, Turkey
(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2013-01)
This preliminary study investigated the depositional features and optical luminescence age of marine terrace sediments located on the east coast of the Strait of Canakkale, Turkey. With regard to depositional setting, the ...
Dating fossil root cast (Black Sea coast, Turkey) using thermoluminescence: Implications for windblown drift of shelf carbonates during MIS 2
(Elsevier Ltd., 2016-05-16)
Rhizoliths are mostly sub-aerially exposed root prints which appear through removal of the rock units that cap them. A horizontal-lying residual of a rhizolith, consisting purely of soft inner core material of white color ...
Records of repeated drought stages during the Holocene, Lake Iznik (Turkey) with reference to beachrock
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2016-07-15)
The cement fabrics, subsurface nature and optically stimulated luminescence age of beachrocks along the shores of Lake Iznik in NW Turkey were studied within the context of Holocene lake level changes. With a maximum ...
Cement fabrics and optical luminescence ages of beachrock, North Cyprus: Implications for Holocene sea-level changes
(Elsevier Ltd., 2016-05-16)
CaCO3-cemented beachrocks are widely found along the northern coast of Cyprus. In this study, we aim to discuss the cementation history of beachrocks at ten particular sites within the context of Holocene sea-level changes. ...
Optically stimulated luminescence to date coastel dunes and a possible tsunami layer on the Kavak Delta (Saros Gulf, NW Turkey)
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey-Tubitak, 2009-01-21)
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was used to determine the timing of initial dune formation and reconstruct the evolution of coastal dunes that developed on the Kavak Delta, Saros Gulf, Turkey. Along a 500-mlong ...
Luminescence dating of prehistoric site of smintheion (Gulpinar) in NW Turkey
(Univ Agean, Dept Mediterranean Stud, 2010)
This study aims to place the prehistoric settlement of Smintheion in northwestern Turkey in its temporal setting on the basis of the dating of the quartz from pottery and sediments collected from the site employing Optically ...
A comparative morphological, compositional and tl study of tenedos (Bozcaada) and Sile aeolianites, Turkey
(Univ Agean, 2012)
Aeolianites are carbonate-cemented deposits of coastal dune sands, mostly of Quaternary age. Even though aeolianite exposures on the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea are frequent, very few records have been documented from ...
First note on marine-like cementation of Late Holocene beachrock, Iznik Lake (Turkey)
(Versita, 2012-03)
Micro-fabric characteristics and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating results are presented to discuss the controlling agents and timing of beachrock cementation on the fresh-water Iznik Lake shoreline. The ...
Optical stimulated luminescence dating study of eolianite on the Island of Bozcaada, Turkey: Preliminary results
(The Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2010-07)
In the present paper, eolianite exposed on the south coast of the semiarid island of Bozcaada, Turkey, was investigated on the basis of geomorphologic and petrographic data, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ...
