The Derinkuyu Volcanic Complex in central Anatolia lies between the Hasan Dagi and Nevsehir-Acigöl complexes. As defined by Uslular et al. (2021), this system includes the buried Tertiary Derinkuyu caldera and the Quaternary Sahinkalesi and Göllüdag dome complexes, along with 30 lava domes (andesitic to rhyolitic), 28 scoria cones (basaltic), one maar (basaltic), and three undifferentiated features. Some of the cones were considered by Keller (1980, pers. comm.) to be Holocene in age due to their freshly preserved features, but Uslular et al. (2021) reported a youngest age of 90 ka for a lava dome (U-Pb). Fission track ages on obsidians ranged from 1.33 to 0.84 million years old (Bigazzi et al., 1995). Hydrothermal alteration and hot springs are present in the Sahin Kalesi resurgent dome complex west of Göllü Dag and on the southern flank of the Erdas Dag massif to the north.
