| Abstract | . ne of the most tectonically active regions of the Eastern Mediterranean. constitute part of the para-autochthonous Apulian foreland of the Hellenide orogen and include rocks of the Pre-Apulian (or Paxos) and Ionian isopic zones (Aubouin 1957, 1965; Underhill 1989). In Levkas Island, the Pre-Apulian zone is represented in Agios Petros area which covers the southwestern part of the island and is separated from the Ionian limestones by a major NE-SW oriented thrust fault, known as the Kalamitsi Thrust (Fig. ). The Manassi section, which is proximal to the thrust fault, is located on the eastern slope of a N-S running valley, near the village of Manassi The studied succession consists of blue grey marls and clays with some fine grained sandstone interbeds. The intercalations of these thin, clastic beds and especially of positively graded sandstones in the studied succession reflect the influence of density currents, which supplied coarser material from a distant hinterland (de Mulder, 1975). The Manassi section is the only section in the vicinity of the thrust fault that is fully exposed in outcrop, where closely packed stratigraphic samples can be undertaken. INTRODUCTION |
