PETROGRAPHIC AND GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GABBROIC ROCKS: CENTRAL ANATOLIAN MASSIF, YEŞİLHİSAR-KAYSERİ (TURKEY)

The study area is located within the Central Anatolian Massif around Yeşilhisar (Kayseri). The oldest rock units in the area are ophiolitic rocks which are mainly found as gabbro and dunites. The gabbros are dark green,blackish green coloured and hard, thin-medium granular hipidiomorf textured. Mai...

description The study area is located within the Central Anatolian Massif around Yeşilhisar (Kayseri). The oldest rock units in the area are ophiolitic rocks which are mainly found as gabbro and dunites. The gabbros are dark green,blackish green coloured and hard, thin-medium granular hipidiomorf textured. Main Composition of gabbroic rocks are hornblende, clinopyroxen, plagioclase, quartz and opaque minerals, sphene and spinel are accessory minerals. The dunites are yellowish, greenish yellow coloured and fragile and stockwork textured. The main components of the dunites are olivine, pyroxen and chromite. The gabbroic rocks are mainly toleitic and can be classified as metaaluminious rocks. Main and trace element variations indicate that the fractionation of hornblende and Fe-Ti oxide minerals. Ratio of Condridite normalized Light REE to Heavy REE displays no enrichment La/LuN = 0.26. Trace and REE contents of the gabbroic rocks indicate that these rocks were a product of MORB like source.
