Yayın A Preliminary note on depositional characteristics and optical luminescence age of a marine terrace, strait of Canakkale, Turkey(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2013-01) Avcıoğlu, Mustafa; Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Kapan Yeşilyurt, Sevinç; Yiğitbaş, ErdinçThis 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 studied sequence is formed mostly of shallow marine deposits rich in quartz and oysters as well as other accessory minerals and various fossil sea shells. In vertical section, the sequence is characterized by two different stratigraphic units, i.e. a 1.50-m-thick sandy to gravely bottom unit (unit A) and an overlying 2.5-m-thick fossiliferous zone (unit B). On the basis of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) age estimations obtained from six sampling levels from bottom to top, we determined superimposed cycles of deposition during interglacials from 246.47 +/- 25.32 ka (unit A) at MIS 7 to 127.48 +/- 8.91 ka (unit B) at MIS 5.Yayın Optical stimulated luminescence dating study of eolianite on the Island of Bozcaada, Turkey: Preliminary results(The Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2010-07) Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Erginal, Ahmet EvrenIn 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) dating results. The eolianite is lithic arenite in composition and contains abundant quartz, calcite, and various lithoclasts amalgamated with micritic calcite, sparitic calcite, and meniscus cements. Within the youngest layers standing at 1-2 m above sea level, the rock contains rhizoliths with or without carbonaceous fills. The OSL ages obtained ranged between 24.21 +/- 1.53 ka and 16.18 +/- 1.70 ka, suggesting that eolianite constitutes an example of low stand deposits coinciding with oxygen isotope stage 2 (OIS-2).Yayın First note on marine-like cementation of Late Holocene beachrock, Iznik Lake (Turkey)(Versita, 2012-03) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Öztürk, Muhammed Zeynel; Yiğitbaş, Erdinç; Bozcu, Mustafa; Avcıoğlu, Mustafa; Öztürk, BeyhanMicro-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 beachrocks are made up of grain-supported polygenic conglomerate containing 20.42% carbonate with encrusted grains, basically as micrite coatings, isopachous aragonite rims, cryptocrystalline void fills and meniscus bridges. The optical ages of twelve samples yielded ages that range from 4.226 +/- 0.569 ka on the lowermost beds to 0.706 +/- 0.081 on the uppermost. This is the first report of precipitation of marine-like cements in Iznik Lake. The abundant aragonite-dominated cement is likely indicative of precipitation-prone dry evaporative conditions from the climatic optimum to the last millennia.Yayın Investigation of beachrock using microanalyses and OSL dating: a case study from Bozcaada island, Turkey(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2010-03) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Öztürk, BeyhanWe investigated the origin and absolute age of beachrock samples on Bozcaada Island, located on the northern Aegean Sea coast of Turkey, using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. Various types of cements were identified, such as micritic, meniscus, and biologic cements, revealing that the beachrock could have occurred as a result of the combined effects of marine-phreatic and supratidal cementation conditions. Optical dating results showed that the formation of beachrock ranged in age from 5.41 +/- 0.58 ka BP to 0.33 +/- 0.05 ka BP. However, much of the beachrock body (about 3 m in thickness) is drowned or submerged today, suggesting that submerged beachrocks extending to -5 m date to earlier times than the start of the cementation period discussed herein.
