Lower Miocene spongolitic facies in Ionian Islands (Greece) and their significance

Abstract: The Authors report spongolitic faciès of the Lower Miocene identified at kefaliinia and Ithaki and discuss the significance of these facies as well as of a diatomaceous épisode of the same age found at Zakynthos. The spongolitic or diatomaceous facies are referred to the volcanism which extended over the entire Mediterranean basin in the Lower Miocene but their occurence and distribution are related to local settings. Spongolitic facies develop on areas wheré pelitic sediments are interbedded with calcar… Show more

“…During this time, magmatic activity may also have contributed to significant inputs of SiO 2 in seawater, increasing both nutrient levels and siliceous organisms (diatoms and sponges). Lower Miocene siliceous deposits are extensively documented across the entire Mediterranean, in the platform‐to‐basin transition areas of the Central and Southern Apennines and in the Eastern Mediterranean (Civitelli et al. , 1987).…”

“…2,[125][126][127][128][129][130]. Lower Miocene siliceous deposits are extensively documented across the entire Mediterranean, in the platform-to-basin transition areas of the Central and Southern Apennines and in the Eastern Mediterranean (Civitelli et al, 1987). The C-isotope excursion recorded in the Central Apennines reaches its highest values around 18-17 Ma.…”

“…Σύμφωνα με τους παραπάνω ερευνητές, η Προαπούλια ζώνη αποτελεί το ανατολικό περιθώριο ή την ανατολική συνέχεια της Απουλίας πλατφόρμας της Ιταλίας που αναπαριστά ταυτόχρονα και τη μετάβαση της τελευταίας προς την Ιόνια λεκάνη Προαπούλιας, κατά μήκος της δυτικής άκρης στο νησί της Κεφαλλονιάς και δυτικά της οροσειράς του Βραχιώνα στο νησί της Ζακύνθου, μέσα στους Ανω-Κρητιδικούς ασβεστόλιθους. Επιπλέον, οι Civitelli et al (1987b), συγκρίνοντας σπογγολιθικές και διατομικές φάσεις από την Ιταλία και τη Ζάκυνθο, εντάσσουν το δυτικό τμήμα της τελευταίας (επίσης του Κρητιδικού) στην Απουλία ζώνη. Έτσι, οι υπό μελέτη Ηωκαινικοί σχηματισμοί, και κατά αυτούς τους ερευνητές, ανήκει αναμφισβήτητα στην Προαπούλια ζώνη.…”
