“…At the end of the Campanian the neritic development of the Pelagonian and ParnassusGhiona Zones ceased and all sectors of the carbonateplatform belt in the east of the Pindos Basin foundered and were covered by a blanket of pelagic limestones (e.g. Philip et al 1989;Steuber et al 1993) equivalent to those deposited in the Pindos Basin. The Pindos Zone resembled the western slope of this pelagic sea attached to the Gavrovo-Tripolis platform.…”

The Cretaceous sedimentary rocks of the Pindos Zone in western Greece document the evolution of a Tethyan deep-water basin. New sedimentological and micropalaeontological studies reveal a complex basin history. Siliceous sediments with abundant radiolaria and organic-rich facies prevailed up to the early Late Cretaceous. Within the sediment-starved pre-Middle Cenomanian, marked black shale levels appear that are probably linked to oceanic anoxic events. At the change from the late Early to the early Middle Cenomanian, the sedimentary regime altered abruptly. The early Late Cretaceous is characterized by major calcareous redepositional events (orbitoline horizons) and often associated siliciclastic turbidite deposition (submarine-fan environments). In the late Late Cretaceous, carbonate supply increased rapidly, resulting in the evolution of a carbonate slope and basinplain setting. Pelagic and allodapic limestones recorded basinwide blooms in planktonic foraminifera (elevata event) and a polyphase redepositional history that is interpreted to reflect the sensitivity of the basin to the tectonic evolution of Apulia.

“…From the Santonian the UBF sequence shows in turn increasing breccia layers composed of neritic limestone, laterite and ophiolitic material that are then unconformably capped by post-nappe sequences consisting of Upper Cretaceous shallow carbonate (Second Mesoautochthonous Cycle; Wigniolle, 1977; Jacobshagen, 1986; Nirta et al 2015). Steuber et al (1993), although not differentiating the UBF succession from the Mesoautochthonous Complex, recognized a gradual transition from the deep-water clastic successions (namely the UBF) and the shallow-water carbonate succession of the Aptian–Coniacian portion of the Mesoautochthonous Complex (First Mesoautochthonous Cycle, see Section 3.c; Fig. 4).…”

From obduction to continental collision: new data from Central Greece

The aim of this paper is to contribute to deciphering the evolutionary history of the Hellenides by the study of a large sector of the chain located between the front of the ophiolitic units and the external zones classically attributed to the continental margin of Adria. In particular, the tectonic units located in Boeotia – a key area located in Central Greece at the boundary between the Internal and External Hellenides – were studied from structural, stratigraphic and biostratigraphic points of view. Addressing the main debated aspects concerning the origin of the ophiolite nappe(s), the tectonic evolution of the Hellenic orogen was revised with a particular emphasis on the period between obduction and continental collision. New findings were compared with consolidated data concerning the main metamorphic events recorded in the more Internal Hellenides, geochemistry and age of the ophiolites and main stratigraphic constraints obtained in other sectors of the belt. Finally, a new reconstruction of the tectonic evolution of this area was introduced and, in the context of the dispute concerning the origin of the ‘ophiolitic belts’ as a possible record of multiple oceanic basins, we put forward for consideration a ‘single ocean’ tectonic model spanning from Triassic up to Tertiary times, and valid for the whole Hellenic–Albanian sector.
