Meaning of the Küçük Menderes graben in the tectonic framework of the central Menderes metamorphic core complex (western Turkey)

Unusually steep, high-angle south-dipping normal faults, that separate the metamorphic rocks of the Menderes massif from the Neogene sedimentary deposits, occur in the northern Küçük Menderes graben in western Turkey. These faults probably reached their current position as a result of the special te...
