Summary
With respect to the northern Anatolian Transform Fault zone there are two groups of rocks of contrasting environment; the Istanbul-Zonguldak tectonic unit in the north, and the Sakarya Continent in the south.
Palinspastic reconstructions of the northern sequence of the Sakarya Continent indicate a Mesozoic continental-margin and an associated ocean-basin regime which was established during the Mesozoic and Early Tertiary time.
The sequence in the north resulted from tectonic amalgamation of an ocean basin and a continent. The latter rests on top of the former on a wide zone of intense cataclasis.
These two assemblages, the northern and the southern, were brought together prior to the late Eocene Epoch. The geological events which brought these tectonic units together do not bear any genetic relationship to the formation of the Northern Anatolian Fault which was initiated in Middle Miocene.
