Petrochemistry of low and medium grade mafic metamorphic rocks from Leros island, Greece

Blueschists and Eclogites of the World and Their Exhumation

“…Katagas (1984) described the Eocene high-P/T metamorphism that formed PA, BS, and GS mineral parageneses on the island of Jaros. Similar metamorphic aspects are observed in Leros Island, where A-type protoliths are converted into schists under BS/GS-transition to EA-facies conditions (Katagas and Sapountzis, 1977).…”

Slab fragmentation beneath the Aegean/Anatolia transition zone: Insights from the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of the Eastern Aegean region

“…It consists of interlayered phyllites, micaschists, quarzites and marbles with rare occurrences of metabasites. The presence of Mg-riebeckite, glaucophane and aragonite in Leros and Arki islands [Katagas & Sapountzis, 1977;Katagas, 1980;Franz & Okrusch, 1992;Roche et al, 2018a], implies a subduction-related metamorphism with a A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T 12 minimum pressure of ~ 8 kbar. Roche et al [2018a] show that glaucophane/Mg-riebeckite is locally preserved and may destabilize into winchite, suggesting a greenschist-facies overprint.…”

Tectonic evolution of Leros (Dodecanese, Greece) and correlations between the Aegean Domain and the Menderes Massif

“…Very few studies were published on the geology of Leros Island. Katagas and Sapountzis (1977) distinguished four tectono-metamorphic units, which Franz et al (2005) then grouped in only two, Temenia and Marina units, covered with a sedimentary unit attributed to the Miocene. Marina unit, further divided into two subunits, Panormos and Emporios (Franz et al 2005), is composed of amphibolites and garnet-micaschists (pre-…”
