Özet
A dense grid of high-resolution multichannel seismic reflection profiles are used to delineate the stratigraphic and structural architecture of the Anamur–Kormakiti zone which separates the Outer Cilicia Basin from the eastern Antalya Basin. The data showed that the uppermost Messinian–Quaternary structural framework of the region is characterized by two arcuate south-convex sinistral strike-slip fault zones in the northeast and east which converge to form a ∼70–80 km wide NW–SE trending zone, consisting of two internally-parallel dextral strike-slip fault zones in the northwest and west. A narrow NNW–SSE trending zone occupied by similarly trending positive flower structures across the Anamur–Kormakiti zone suggests that this region is probably a rotational stepover between two oppositely moving strike-slip fault zones. The regionally extensive strike-slip fault zones are largely developed during the Pliocene–Quaternary along the southern fringes of the Taurus Mountains in response to the westward escape of the Aegean–Anatolian Microplate following the collision and suturing of the Arabian Plate to the Eurasian Plate during the end of Miocene–Early Pliocene.

We thank the officers and crew of the RV Koca Piri Reis, particularly the former Captains M. Özsaygılı and K. Dursun and the former Chief Engineers B. Nuriler and Ö. Çubuk for their invaluable assistance during the 1991, 1992, 2001 and 2007 geophysical operations. We further thank Drs. D. Yaşar, G. Çifçi and D. Dondurur of the Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology, Dokuz Eylül University for his role in facilitating these cruises. Special thanks are extended to the Turkish Petroleum Corporation for kindly providing their multichannel seismic profiles and well data. We acknowledge research and shiptime funds from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada to Aksu and Hall, and contributions from the Office of the Vice-President Research and the Ocean Sciences Center at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Numerous discussions with Dr. T. Calon greatly improved the manuscript. We further acknowledge P. Bruce for his assistance in data management. We thank the two anonymous reviewers for their diligent work in the evaluation of the manuscript. We thank the officers and crew of the RV Koca Piri Reis, particularly the former Captains M.
