Abstract
The outlines of the Cenozoic volcanism developed between the Pontian and Taurian orogenic belts in the Erzurum area, are described. The following volcanic units are recognized, from the oldest ones: andesiticbasaltic fissurai strato-volcanoes; rhyodacitic and dacitic domes; andesitic domes followed by strong ejective activity; basaltic domes and flow-domes; basaltic fissure volcanoes. The relationships between these units and the main tectonic phases, which developed in this region during the latest periods of the Alpine orogenesis, are discussed.
