The Tokat Massif is a metamorphic complex that is situated to the south of the Pontide ranges, northern Anatolia. It is a tectonic mosaic consisting of different tectonic units. Amongst these, continental slivers of different ages and, ophiolitic and continental margin succession of late Palaeozoic - early Mesozoic ages are identified. Tectonically the massif is situated between the Pontides and the ophiolitic suture zone(s) and thus has been regarded as an independent tectonic entity, forming the eastern part of the so-called Anatolides. In this talk, the internal arrangement of the rock units that form the massif will be given and then their tectonic significance in time-space reference will be discussed. Finally the data will be correlated with the surrounding major tectonic zones so as to find out origin of the massif. Structural influence of the Tokat massif on the surrounding basins will also be discussed briefly.
