The first of these, which is thought to be the equivalent of the Eskihisar sporomorph association, occurs in the lower coal horizons and is considered to be Middle Miocene (early - middle Serravallian) in age.
Since these ages will certainly be used for tectonic modelling and/or biochronology of sedimentary successions in the Buyuk Menderes graben, we suggest caution when using the age determinations of Akgun and Akyol (1999).

 DUCTILE AND BRITTLE SHEAR SENSE INDICATORS ALONG THE BUYUK MENDERES DETACHMENT SURFACE, WESTERN TURKEY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
A south-dipping low-angle normal fault is well exposed along the northern margin of the Buyuk Menderes Graben, one of the major E-W trending grabens of western Turkey.
The fault separates a gneissic sequence of high grade metamorphic assemblage and an Early- Miocene sedimentary rock succession in its hangingwall from the marble intercalated, mylonitized schists in its footwall rocks.
These findings suggest that the Buyuk Menderes detachment may have developed in more than one stage; an earlier ductile extension with top-to-north direction of tectonic transport, overprinted by top-to-the south tectonic transport and a later brittle extension with top to the south direction of tectonic transport.
