Structure, sedimentary features, and biostratigraphy were taken into account to provide additional knowledge into the depositional conditions that influenced the sedimentary sequence along the southern coast of Zakynthos. This succession is exposed from Keri village to Ag. Sostis peninsula and appears to have been influenced by intense tectonic activity. The active tectonics resulted in the formation of at least four coarsening upward cycles. The co-occurrence of Bouma sequence subdivisions and slump horizons within the studied sediments suggest a deep-sea depositional environment. Grain size analysis indicates a regional swallowing upward trend. TOC and CaCΟ3 contents are presented with both positive and negative correlations while the TOC values indicate that the study area contain samples with source rock potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
