Bozkır is an old town established on the skirts of the Taurus Mountains, and contain various tectonic units, eg. Bozkır unit, extending laterally several hundreds of kilometres. The Bozkır unit typically crops out and hence named around Bozkır district. It is formed by deep sea sediments, ophiolites and submarine basic volcanic rocks, all of which overlied by well-exposed Paleogene and Neogene? units. Bozkır is rich not only for its geological occurrence, but also for its culture, history and nature. Bozkır is in a central position of ancient Isauria and represented by Zengibar castle. The town has also a bridge of Seljuk period and various Seljuk and Ottoman Mosques. Çarşamba stream, source of the life in the region, is originated from Taurus Mountains both as Aygır spring, and as leakage from Sarıot lake. It crosses from various villages and town up to Mavi Gorge to meet with the water channel. All of which suggest that Bozkır district should be declared as a Geopark.

DOI: 10.15317/Scitech.2018.149 Url: http://sujest.selcuk.edu.tr/sumbtd/article/view/479, In the Konya area, the Neotethyan assemblage is represented by Late Cretaceous aged Hatıp Ophiolitic Mélange, in where the metamorphic sole rocks crop out as thin slices beneath the sheared serpentinites and harzburgites, and Çayırbağı ophiolite. This study aims to characterize the mineralogical characteristics and chemical composition of the amphiboles in the metamagmatic sole rocks of the Hatıp Ophiolitic Mélange. The main rock types in the metamorphic sole rocks are amphibolite (amphibole up to 90.3 %); epidote-amphibolite (65.3% amphibole); zoisite-amphibolite (amphibole 52.2%) and amphibole-quartzite (amphibole 28.5%) with nematoblastic to porphyroblastic texture. The microprobe analyses of the amphiboles suggest that the amphiboles have crystallized from a wet magma in medium pressure condition (≤ 7 kb), and are magnesiohornblende, pargasite and edenite in composition. The obtained data also reveal that the Neotethyan assemblage has experienced a regional metamorphism in greenschist facies conditions, which resulted in no chemical changes in the amphiboles., Konya yöresinde Neotetis topluluğu, Geç Kretase yaşlı makaslanmış serpantinit ve harzburgitlerin altında ince dilimler şeklinde metamorfik taban kayaçlarının bulunduğu Hatıp ofiyolitik Melanjı ve Çayırbağı ofiyolitleri ile temsil edilirler. Bu çalışmada, metamorfik dilimde yer alan metamagmatik kayaçlardaki amfibollerin mineralojik özelliklerinin ve kimyasal bileşimlerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Metamorfik dilimdeki ana kayaç tipleri nematoblastik - porfiroblastik dokuya sahip olan amfibolit (% 90.3 lere varan amfibol); epidot amfibolit (%65.3 amfibol); zoisit amfibolit (%52.2 amfibol) ve amfibol kuvarsit (%28.5 amfibol) tir. Amfibollerin kimyası, amfibollerin orta basınç şartlarında (≤ 7 kb) sulu bir mağmadan kristalleşen magnezyohornblend, pargazit ve edenit bileşiminde olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Eldeki veriler, ayrıca Neotetis topluluğunun daha sonra amfibollerde kimyasal bir değişiklik oluşturmayan yeşilşist fasiyesi şartlarında bölgesel bir metamorfizmaya uğradığını vurgulamaktadır.
