For those interested in tectonics of continental subduction, HP/LT
metamorphism and Tethyan geology, we would like to bring to your attention a
3-day field trip in northwest Turkey in October 2010.
Highlights of the field trip include a subducted passive margin sequence
with Ordovician jadeite granite, Triassic jadeite-chloritoid metapelites,
lawsonite-eclogites
overlain by an Neo-Tethyan accretionary complex with aragonitized pelagic
limestone, Paleo-Tethyan eclogites and blueschists with Triassic metamorphic
ages.
Field trip leaders: Aral Okay and Donna Whitney
Dates: 1-3 October 2010
The trip starts in Istanbul and ends in Ankara.
Additional information about this and other field trips, and general
information about the TECTONIC CROSSROADS meeting that follows in Ankara, is
