Tectonic map showing the continental fragments involved in the evolution of Turkey as proposed by Şengör and Yilmaz (1981). In this scheme various belts have been recognized and described which correspond to either a continental block or a suture zone that is amalgamated as a result of the Neo-Tethyan collision and which is marked by an ophiolitic suite of rocks (redrawn from Şengör and Yilmaz, 1981). 300 km (186.4 mi). From Derman, Ahmet Sami, 2014, Petroleum systems of Turkish Basins, in L. Marlow, C. Kendall, and L. Yose, eds., Petroleum systems of the Tethyan region: AAPG Memoir 106, p. 469-504.
