Özet
Volcanic and magmatic rocks of Central Anatolia are fairly rich in radioelement concentrations. The aerial gamma-ray spectrometric survey data, gathered for the purpose of radioactive mineral exploration were utilized as an additional tool for the petrochemical classification of the volcanic and magmatics rocks and their environments. The survey data on acidic intrusions (e.g. granite, monzonite and syenite) have revealed radioelement concentrations to occur in wide ranges to be 2-6 wt per cent for potassium (K), 3-15 ppm for uranium (U) and 10-52 ppm for thorium (Th). The chain-like high and moderately high potassium, uranium and thorium anomalies on acid intrusives of the entire area show a halo-shaped feature.
