Arc magmatism as a window to plate kinematics and subduction polarity: Example from the eastern Pontides belt, NE TurkeyEyuboglu, YenerSantosh, M.Bektas, OsmanAyhan, SedaArc magmatismEastern Pontides beltPaleomagnetismSubduction polarityTurkeyThe Eastern Pontides orogenic belt in the Black Sea region of Turkey offers a critical window to plate kinematics and subduction polarity during the closure of the Paleotethys. Here we provide a brief synthesis on recent information from this belt. We infer a southward subduction for the origin of the Eastern Pontides orogenic belt and its associated late Mesozoic-Cenozoic magmatism based on clear spatial and temporal variations in Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic arc magmatism, together with the existence of a prominent south-dipping reverse fault system along the entire southern coast of the Black Sea. Our model is at variance with some recent proposals favoring a northward subduction polarity, and illustrates the importance of arc magmatism in evaluating the geodynamic milieu associated with convergent margin processes.Elsevier B.V.2011Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/15522https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gsf.2010.12.0041674-9871enGeoscience Frontiersinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/15522
