- •
We use Cretaceous faults sub-perpendicular to the NAF-N as precise offset markers.
- •
We provide a robust estimate of 52 ± 1 km displacement along the major NAF-N.
- •
We propose a total of ~ 88 ± 5 km offset along all branches of the NAF in Marmara Sea.
- •
Our data suggest Pliocene (3.9 Ma) inception age for the NAF in the Marmara region.
- •
We interpret that the Marmara Basins opened as transtensional structures.
