Thick ignimbrite deposits are associated with formation of the Gölcük caldera, which was partially destroyed by a phreatoplinian eruption. The caldera was partially filled by lava domes and flows and then modified by maar formation during the last phase, which concluded with eruption of lava domes within the lake-filled maar. The volcano was initially thought to be Pliocene in age, but Platevoet et al. (2008) showed that much of the volcano's activity took place during the Pleistocene, and the latest eruption from lava domes was about 24,000 years ago.
