extinct spreading Abstract: Plate tectonic reconstructions have been employed in geosciences since 1970s, in the context of hydrocarbon exploration, regional geology and paleobiology. Such studies have given valuable inputs for climate and geodynamic computations, present-day mantle structure, models of plate motion, and the interpretation of the drift of hotspots, true polar wander (TPW), sea level and stratigraphic signals. However, geodynamic models generated in the past by incorporating global plate tectonic reconstructions have limitations. To overcome this, GPlates software brings forward a new era of interactive plate tectonic reconstruction software integrated with GIS databases that incorporates a wide variety of geological and geophysical data. Besides modelling tectonic and crustal evolution, GPlates has also been used in visualizing paleogeography and paleobathymetry, in understanding deep carbon cycle, subduction zone initiation, mantle evolution, investigating earthquakes and predicting future supercontinents. the software has been widely used in hydrocarbon exploration along the passive conjugate margins such as from the margins of South America and Africa and has provided promising results in acquiring new and more reliable prospecting criteria for petroleum systems. Additionally, it has become an integral tool for paleolatitude calculations, modelling of paleoclimate and paleoenvironment.

and geotectonic Abstract: Modal analysis of sandstones for conglomerate rich marine basins is useful for investigating the provenance types surrounded by plate tectonics. Different kinds of siliciclastic rocks are important indicators for defining the paleogeography and geotectonic conditions of the sedimentary basin by provenance analysis. This paper, which focuses on the petrography and provenance of conglomerate rich turbidite systems, is one of the rarest studies on the sedimentary characteristics in the scientific literature. In this context, the study was carried out in the western part of the Elazığ Basin. The Middle Eocene–Oligocene basin infill called the Kırkgeçit Formation is characterised by the conglomerate rich submarine channel deposits and coarse-grained turbidite sandstones. Petrographically, the coarse-grained sandstones of the Kırkgeçit Formation are composed of litharenite and rarely feldspathic litharenite, lithic arkose and rock fragments. Mostly the components are derived from volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Elazığ Magmatites. Fossils and fossil fragments are transported from the shallow part of the western Elazığ Basin. The components transported from metamorphic rock fragments, which are rarely observed in the sandstone samples, are composed of recrystallized limestones and derived from Keban Metamorphites in the northern part of the basin. The provenance studies and petrographic analyses indicated that the conglomerate rich channels and coarse-grained sediments of turbidite sandstones in the Kırkgeçit Formation were plotted mostly to the recycled orogenic and undissected arc type source rocks. Therefore, this type of source rocks has been reflected as a back-arc basin deposit during Middle-Upper Eocene. The geotectonic evolution of the western Elazığ Basin has also supported

: Field observations and morphotectonic evaluations on the south of Ulubat Lake and the Susurluk valley show that the dominant active fault pattern consists of northeast-southwest and east northeast-west southwest right-lateral faults and northwest-southeast normal faults developing between these strike-slip faults. We redefined the active faults in the south of Ulubat Lake and discovered that these northeast-southwest right-lateral faults control the route of Susurluk River. Based on these discoveries and evaluations, we can claim that the “bend model” previously proposed for the region is not valid, as seen in the Mustafakemalpaşa Fault and Balıkesir-Kepsut Fault examples. Instead, we suggest that the faults belonging to the southern branch of the North Anatolian Fault Zone extend to Akhisar and İzmir via Bursa, Susurluk, and Balıkesir.

: Detailed description of spatio-temporal framework of fossil-bearing strata is of fundamental significance for understanding the evolution of organisms and regional tectonics. The Qujing and Haikou formations are two lithological units exposed in eastern Yunnan, southwestern China, and both bear rich fossils indicative of a Middle Devonian age, while their relationship or lateral correlation remains unclear. Based on detailed observations of outcrops of these two formations in Qujing, eastern Yunnan, and as well as their typical rock characteristics and fossil contents, we propose that the two formations are basically contemporaneous heterotopic facies. From north to south of the Qujing area, the transition from the Haikou Formation to the Qujing Formation is gradual and shows an increase of carbonate component (in terms of the cumulative thickness of carbonate rocks) and as offset, a decrease of the siliciclastic component. The distribution of the Haikou/Qujing Formation indicates the development of a marine environment in the Qujing area during the Givetian, as a part of the South China Sea connected to the Paleo-Tethys Ocean
