Özet

Remnants of two 'Palaeotethyan' oceanic basins are exposed in the Central Pontides of northern Turkey, separated by a continental sliver and an oceanic arc. The southern basin corresponds to the main Tethys ('Palaeotethys'), which partially closed in Early Mesozoic time following northward subduction under the southern, active continental margin of Eurasia.
