Rutile occur in important amounts within Quaternary detrital sediments, and quartz veins which cut down the Paleozoic aged Esme formation in the Menderes Massif on the Neoproterozoic Pan-Afrikan Belt in the west of Turkey. As a result of erosion, transport and accumulation of rutile-bearing quartz veins in the mica schists of the Esme formation outcropped between Esme (Usak) and Kula (Manisa), the placer rutile occurrences occur in terraces, fluvial-alluvial and eluvial deposits. This study investigates the element content of rutile, oxygen isotope ratios of rutile and quartz, and formation temperature of rutile related to titanium source rock.
