title: A Paleomagnetic Study of the Tectonic Deformation in Circum-Marmara Region, NW Anatolia, during the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic Period
abstract: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Marmara region is located on the Alpine Himalayan orogenic belt which experienced a active tectonic deformation. The region consists of tectonic units such as the Istanbul Zone, the Strandja Zone and the Sakarya Continent. It is reported in the previous geological studies that the Istanbul Zone began to move southwards appart from the Moesia Platform with the effect of West Blacksea Fault in the west and West Crimea Fault in the east after the the opening of the Black Sea in
