Abstract

The calc-alkaline Karacaali Magmatic Complex (KMC), in the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex, is an example of an Upper Cretaceous post-collisional I-type, plutonic-volcanic association. Volcanic rocks grade from basalt to rhyolite, whilst coeval plutonic rocks range from gabbro to leucogranite. In this paper we document evidence for the occurrence of both mixing and unmixing during the evolution of this igneous complex.
