Co-auteur: Demir, Tuncer ; Seyrek, Ali ; Pringle, Malcolm S. ; Westaway, Rob ; Beck, Anthony ; Rowbotham, George ; Yurtmen, Sema Résumé: New high-precision Ar-Ar dating of basalt underlying the city of Diyarbakır, southeast Turkey, constrains the Quaternary incision history of the River Tigris, strengthening the pre-existing chronology based on magnetostratigraphy and K-Ar dates. The basalt, which overlies Tigris terrace gravel 70 m above the river, is part of the Karacadağ shield volcano complex centred ca. 60 km to the southwest. The reverse-magnetised Diyarbakır basalt, one of relatively few flow units to reach the Tigris valley axis, has been dated to 1196 ± 19 ka (±2σ). Two lower terraces have been recognised in the Diyarbakır area, 46 and 32 m above the present river, with at least one other further downstream. From this evidence the rate of Middle-Late Pleistocene incision by the Tigris can be estimated; it probably reached ca. 0.07 mm a−1, reflecting the characteristic global increase in uplift rates observed at that time.(Revue).
