A belt of Volcanic rocks of Cretaceous and Eocene-Pliocene age, extends for several hundred kms along and parallel to the NE Black Sea coast of Turkey.
The greater part of these rocks are calc-alkaline, with basaltic, andesitic and dacitic types predominant. The volcanics include flows, some displaying pillow structures, tuffs, breccias, dikes and domes.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Pliocene : 5.1 ± 1.30 Ma to 3.2 ± 2.30 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
