Geology and deformation of the northern part of the Athos Peninsula, Northern Greece

Abstract

The Athos peninsula occupies the south-eastern part of the wider Chalkidiki peninsula in Central Macedonia, Greece. It is mainly built up by crystalline rocks belonging to the Serbo-Macedonian massif, traditionally constituting, along with the Rhodope massif, the Hellenic hinterland. The northern part of the Athos peninsula is mainly composed of marbles, initially grouped into the Kerdyllion Unit and biotite gneisses and two-mica gneisses, grouped into the Vertiskos Unit, both units belonging to the Serbo-Macedonian massif, whereas their contact was initially considered as a normal contact. However, amphibolites and ultramafic rocks exist along with the rocks mentioned above, making the geology and relationship between the two units much more complicated. This dissertation reports the results of a detailed mapping and structural analysis of the Serbo-Macedonian massif on the Athos Peninsula. It also includes a complementary study on crystallographic fabrics of mylonites at the contact ...
