“…Later, Kondopoulou et al . () provided supplementary magnetostratigraphical data resulting from the sampling of the almost complete Keramia Formation in the Michalos section (about 120 m in thickness) also including approximately 10 m of the Zayfa Formation at the bottom. Thus, they presented information about the lower and uppermost parts of the section that was not considered in Kondopoulou et al .…”

Karydomys is a rare and little diversified democricetodontine, of which only six species are currently recognized. This group of rodents is first recorded in the early Miocene (MN3) in China and spread quickly thereafter to Kazakhstan and Greece (MN4). Karydomys reached south‐western and central Europe by early middle Miocene times (MN5), from where it became extinct shortly thereafter (MN6). A new species of Karydomys is here described from the Miocene Keramia Formation of Chios Island (north‐eastern Aegean Sea). Karydomys strati sp. nov. is characterized by the presence of a labial spur on the anterolophule, the lack of anterior protolophule on the M1 and by the presence of a double metalophule on the M2. A cladistics analysis involving all the species of Karydomys and some closely related species of Democricetodon and Cricetodon show that Karydomys split early into two different lineages, an ‘eastern stock’, which includes the central Asian (K. debruijni and K. dzerzhinskii) and Greek (K. symeonidisi, K. boskosi and K. strati) species, and a ‘western lineage’ comprising the western and central European species (K. wigharti and K. zapfei). The evolutionary stage of Karydomys strati suggests that the lowermost part of the Keramia Formation, usually attributed to the middle Miocene, is older than previously thought.

“…The available published palaeomagnetic data indicate that (1) the Aegean crust in Greece rotated clockwise while the crust in western Turkey rotated anticlockwise, and (2) complex deformation occurred around Karaburun Peninsula and Chios Island (e.g., Kissel and Laj, 1988;Kissel et al, 1987;2003;Kondopoulou et al, 2011;van Hinsbergen et al, 2005). The data also suggest that the clockwise rotation to the west of the İBTZ, has occurred around a pole in northern Greece, which was resulted from rotational retreatment (i.e., slabrollback) of the Hellenic subduction zone because the eastern edge of the subduction zone retreated faster than its western part (Brun and Sokoutis, 2012;Kissel et al, 2003;van Hinsbergen and Schmid, 2012).…”

“…However, paleomagnetic inclinations reported from rocks of Miocene and younger age in the Aegean region range from 25 to 50°, thus exhibiting a systematic inclination shallowing (Beck and Schermer, 1994). This has led to suggestion that the local time-averaged geomagnetic field was different from the GAD model (Morris and Anderson, 1996;Avigad et al, 1998), that the Aegean region was actually ~500 km south of its present position in Miocene time (Beck and Schermer, 1994;Beck et al, 2001;Aidona et al, 2008;Kondopoulou et al, 2011), or that the paleomagnetic data exhibit systematic shallow biases (Krijgsman and Tauxe, 2004;Tauxe et al, 2008).…”

A re-assessesment of the shallow paleomagnetic inclinations of the Western Cyclades, Greece

Consistently shallow paleomagnetic inclinations measured in Early to Middle Miocene lacustrine and dacitic volcanic rocks of the Kymi-Aliveri basin have been cited as evidence for an anomalous geomagnetic field geometry or northward drift of the Aegean Sea region. We present new paleomagnetic data from the lacustrine beds that are instead not anomalously shallow and consistent with deposition near their present-day latitude as predicted by global apparent polar wander paths. Anomalously shallow inclinations and easterly declinations reported from the Oxylithos volcanics are an artifact of an inappropriate tilt correction. The excessively shallow paleomagnetic inclinations reported from the deformed Middle Miocene plutons on Mykonos and Naxos are consistent with reorientation of an original thermoremanent magnetization acquired during cooling below 580°C by subsequent ductile strain at temperatures of 400-500°C. Magnetization overprints observed in these rocks may reflect the acquisition of a stable chemical remanent magnetization lying parallel to the transposed high-temperature magnetization as the result of low-temperature (<350°C) maghemitization. We therefore find no convincing evidence for an anomalous Middle Miocene field geometry, northward drift of the Aegean, or back-tilting of the low-angle normal faults that constitute the North Cycladic Detachment System.
