The island of Serifos is situated about
100km SSE of Athens in the Aegean
Sea and belongs to the Attic-Cycladic
massif. The geology of Serifos is largely
characterized by a shallow hornblendebiotite
granodiorite pluton that intruded
in the late Miocene into a previously
deformed (under blueschist conditions)
sequence mainly consisting of
ortho- and paragneisses, calc-silicate
marbles, amphibolites and schists. The
pluton has a dome-shaped body occupying
the central and southern parts of
the island (Salemink 1985). The Serifos
MCC is the very western continuation of a zone of syn- to post tectonic intrusions
younging from the East (Naxos,
Paros ?12Ma) to the West (Serifos 9–
8Ma). Whereas the older intrusions in
the East show a top to the North geometry,
the Serifos MCC has developed
a South-directed low-angle detachment
fault...
