This study presents apatite fission track (AFT) ages of the intrusion to shed some light on collision-related cooling/exhumation history of the central Pontides. The AFT ages from different altitudes (506-805-1110 metres above sea level) of the Beypazari Granitoid yield around 65 +/- 3 Ma. This indicates a rapid cooling/exhumation for the intrusion around 65 Ma, which is attributed to the commencement of the collision event in the region. Integration of these ages and low-temperature thermochronology literature suggests a progressive collision propagation towards the margins of the collision system.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBeypazari GranitoidApatite Fission TrackNeo-TethysCollisionExhumationArticle321Q4N/A110WOS:000563800600001
