“…at Profitis Ilias Arhangellou (Pirazzoli et al 1989, Kontogianni et al 2002). An additional result of this deformation could be the reverse fault north of Arhangelos where the carbonates of the Arhangelos Unit are overthrusted on Asouros formation sediments.…”

A detailed source and rupture process analyzes of the 10 June 2012 Ö lüdeniz-Fethiye (Dodecanese Islands; Mw 6.1) earthquake has been carried out using inversion of both complex body waves and strong ground motion records. The rupture starting from the hypocenter propagated gradually to the southwest. The main rupture is modeled by a main asperity located 2-3 km beneath the hypocenter and two small asperities. The size of the effective source area is about 24 9 12 km, the rupture duration was approximately 12 s and the total seismic moment was estimated to be 1.955 9 10 18

“…This transgression, amounting to a water depth of more than 600 m and perhaps as much as 800 m (Moissette & Spjeldnaes 1995), was followed by a Pleistocene regression (Hanken et al 1996, Kovacs & Spjeldnaes 1999) that continues today (e.g., Pirazolli et al 1982, Pirazolli et al 1989, Kontogianni et al 2002. The subaerial exposure caused partial erosion of the Plio-Pleistocene deposits and re-exhumation of the underlying karst surface (Meulenkamp 1985).…”

A biostratigraphical and palaeoecological study of the Pleistocene marine fauna from the Kallithea area (northeast Rhodes, Greece) has been conducted. In this area, the Lindos Bay Clay and the Cape Arkhangelos Calcarenite, which constitute the Rhodes Formation, are well exposed in ancient quarries. The study has revealed the presence of 120 mollusc taxa, viz scaphopods (3 taxa), bivalves (65), gastropods (52) and indeterminate polyplacophorans, together with brachiopods (6 taxa), corals (3) and serpulids (7). The fauna of the Lindos Bay Clay contains counterparts of the modern biocoenoses of the coastal detritic (DC) and muddy detritic bottoms (DE), whereas the Cape Arkhangelos Calcarenite shows evidence of the coralligenous biocoenosis (C), the biocoenosis of the 'Posidonia' meadows (HP), the biocoenosis of the photophilic algae (AP), the biocoenosis of fine-grained, well-sorted sand (SFBC), and the biocoenosis of coarse-grained sands and fine gravels under bottom currents (SGCF). The Windmill Bay Boulder Bed and the Kleopolu Calcirudite, which comprise the overlying Lindos Acropolis Formation, contain indeterminate bivalves and gastropods between eroded blocks from the Cape Arkhangelos Calcarenite. The Lindos Acropolis Formation shows remains of the coralligenous biocoenosis (C). The taxa identified confirm the warm-temperate conditions in the northeastern Mediterranean during the Pleistocene. Finds of Arctica islandica, which can be considered a 'northern guest', indicate the Pleistocene age of the Cape Arkhangelos Calcarenite. Two uranium/thorium dates of bivalves also support this age. Pteropods in the uppermost Lindos Bay Clay also suggest a Pleistocene age
