Abstract

Many plutonic rocks of varying age, size and composition exist in the Paleozoic to Cenozoic times in the Eastern Pontides. Especially Carboniferous aged plutons are observed in the larger masses and more commonly in the southern part, while they are seen in the smaller bodies and a lesser extent in the northern part of the Eastern Pontides. Carboniferous plutons are generally granite and granodiorite in composition and vary in size from 1 to 400 km2. They exhibit low to high-K calc-alkaline and metaluminous to slightly peraluminous characters. The rocks show a wide range of variations in 87Sr/86Sr(i) (0.69454 to 0.71057) and a narrow variation in εNd(i) (−0.1 to −8.0) values. Carboniferous plutons in the Eastern Pontides, at least those with precise radiometric age data available, formed between 348 to 298 Ma. These rocks represent a late stage of Hercynian magmatism in the northern and southern part of the Eastern Pontides. Compared with Eocene and Late Cretaceous plutons in the Eastern Pontides, Carboniferous plutons has very coarse texture, lesser amount of mafic magmatic enclaves (MMEs) and mafic minerals, higher ratios of 87Sr/86Sr(i) and lower values of eNd(i).
