The present-day Aegean tectonic configuration is marked by the interplay between Hellenic slab rollback and Anatolian extrusion, explaining the formation of extensional basins and dextral strike-slip faults. We aim to constrain middle Miocene activity of dextral strike-slip and normal faults in Central Greece with structural analysis and low-temperature data. We show that onshore middle Miocene basins are controlled by both NW-striking normal faults and NE-striking dextral strike-slip faults. E-striking normal faults developed during the Plio-Quaternary inside pre-existing NW-striking fault zones. Stress tensor calculations show that in the middle Miocene, NW-striking normal faults and NE-striking dextral faults are compatible, confirming their coeval activity. In contrast, the Plio-Quaternary stress tensor suggests an almost N-S radial extension, which is not compatible with NE-striking dextral faults in Central Greece. Apatite fission-track data additionally constrain middle Miocene local cooling near NW-striking normal faults. They also support a difference in the amount of exhumation between Central Greece and the Cyclades, likely accommodated by the Pelagonian dextral strike-slip fault. We propose that in the middle Miocene, the co-existence of dextral strike-slip and normal faults is associated with an almost N-S extension related to trench retreat and an E-W compression related to westward extrusion of Anatolia. The progressive trench curvature during rollback implies block rotation, accommodated by the Pelagonian fault, and subsequent normal fault and extensional stress rotation. During the Plio-Quaternary, a change in extensional direction from NE-SW to N-S implies the formation of E-striking normal faults inside NW-striking fault zones, defining oblique rift systems.

希腊中部中新世中段弧扩展和西侧安纳托利亚挤压过程中的右旋走滑和正断层

今天的爱琴海构造构造以希腊平板回滚和安那托利亚挤压作用之间的相互作用为标志,解释了伸展盆地和右旋走滑断裂的形成。我们旨在通过结构分析和低温数据来限制希腊中部右旋走滑和正断层的中新世活动。我们表明,陆上中新世中部盆地受西北走向的正断层和东北走向的右旋走滑断层的控制。在先前存在的西北走向断裂带内的第四纪第四纪期间,发生了电子走向正常断裂。应力张量计算表明,在中新世中部,西北走向的正断层和东北走向的右旋断层是兼容的,证实了它们的同时代活动。相比之下,Plio-第四纪应力张量表明,其径向延伸几乎为NS,这与希腊中部的NE引起的右旋断层不兼容。磷灰石裂变径迹数据还限制了西北新生代正常断层附近的中新世中期冷却。他们还支持中希腊和基克拉泽斯的掘尸数量差异,这可能是由Pelagonian右旋走滑断层造成的。我们认为,在中新世中部,右旋走滑和正断层的共存与与海沟退缩有关的几乎NS延伸和与安纳托利亚向西挤出有关的EW压缩有关。在回滚过程中,渐进的沟槽曲率暗示了由Pelagonian断层所适应的块旋转,以及随后的正断层和张应力旋转。在第四届第四纪会议期间,
