Abstract
The metamorphic rocks of the Afyon Zone are unconformably overlain by Upper Palaeocene-Lower Eocene sedimentary rocks, indicating a Paleocene age for the regional HP/LT metamorphism. This implies continuous younging of HP/LT metamorphism in the Anatolides related to northward subduction of the Anatolide-Tauride platform beneath the Sakarya Zone. From north to south this involved the TavÅanlı Zone (Campanian, 80 ± 5 Ma), the Afyon Zone (Palaeocene?), the Menderes Massif (Middle Eocene) and the Lycian Nappes (Late Cretaceous-Eocene?), all of which were probably derived from the frontal part of the Anatolide-Tauride platform.
