Abstract
This study investigates the mantle source characteristics of the Quaternary Karapnar Basalts from the southwestern part of the Cappadocia Volcanic Province (CVP) in Central Anatolia using a combination of whole-rock and olivine major-and trace-element geochemistry as well as olivine oxygen isotope composition. Petrographic features and trace element distributions demonstrate that the Karapnar basalts can be classified into two sub-groups as basalt-1 (KB1/ alkaline-calc-alkaline) and basalt-2 (KB2/calc-alkaline). Although these two types of basalts are petrographically, texturally and geochemically different, they exhibit similar "orogenic type" incompatible trace element patterns in MORB-normalized diagrams. KB1 basalts are relatively primitive (e.g., up to 12 wt. % MgO) and calc-alkaline to mildly alkaline (Ne-normative content up to 5 %) in character, whereas KB2 basalts are enclave-bearing, calc-alkaline (hypersthene-normative plus quartz or olivine) ones with the more evolved composition. The most primitive olivine from the KB1 exhibits normal zoning, from core compositions of Fo 89 to rim compositions of Fo 86, with a concomitant decreasing in Ni and increasing MnO and CaO contents. On the contrary, the KB2 olivines show both inverse and normal zoning in terms of CaO and MnO contents. Moreover, the studied olivine phenocrysts have enriched rims and/or growth zones in Li, Zn, Cr, Ti, Sc, and V contents, which indicates a source containing recycled continental crust and/or magma recharging processes. The olivine from the most primitive samples (KB1; MgO > 10 wt. %) has high Zn/Fe, Fe/Mn, Co, Zn, Ni, Ca, and low Mn/Zn, Co/Fe values indicating melt addition from a pyroxenitic source. Calculations based on the olivine chemistry indicate that the most primitive nepheline normative KB1 rocks originated from the melting of mixed pyroxenitic-peridotitic source that shows the average proportion of ~70 % and ~30 %, respectively. The mean 18 O values of olivine phenocrysts (+ 6.4 ; n = 8) from the Karapnar basaltic rocks are higher than typical mantle olivine (+ 5.1-5.4 ) but overlap known OIB-EMII sources (+ 5.4-6.1 ). Collected data indicate that the Karapnar basalts are the mixing products of partial melts from mantle peridotite and metasomatic pyroxenite generated by the reaction of the subducted oceanic slab-derived melts with the surrounding peridotite, related to the convergence system of the Eurasian and Afro-Arabian plates.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
