Linking microcracks and mineral zoning of detachment-exhumed granites to their tectonomagmatic history: Evidence from the Salihli and Turgutlu plutons in western Turkey (Menderes Massif)

► Microcracks and mineral zoning record the deformation of syntectonic granites. ► Range of plagioclase zoning types indicates the presence of magma mixing. ► Granites have interacted with fluids at all stages in their tectonic history. ► Overprinting microcracks show exhumation during pulses of extension. ► Microcrack orientation is a complex function of mineralogy and deformation.
