The Cycladic Blueschist Unit of the Hellenic subduction orogen: Protracted high-pressure metamorphism, decompression and reimbrication of a diachronous nappe stack

Johannes Glodny et al.

Summary: This study discusses the assembly and tectonochronology of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (CBU) in the central Aegean Sea region, Greece. Based on geochronologic data from the Cycladic islands of Tinos, Syros and Sifnos, the authors propose that the CBU is a composite, subduction-related stack of nappes. They find that the nappes were sequentially accreted between -55 and -30 Ma and each nappe was exhumed and experienced greenschist-facies overprinting. The authors also suggest that the under thrusting of the External Hellenides during the early Oligocene caused significant shortening and out-of-sequence thrusting.

Metasomatism and deformation of block-in-matrix structures in Syros: The role of inheritance and fluid-rock interactions along the subduction interface

Thomas Gyomlai et al.

Summary: This study reveals an example of metasomatism along the subduction interface in the Cycladic Blueschists of Syros island, showing the unique characteristics and impacts on the block-in-matrix 'melange'. Through detailed fieldwork, petrographic and geochemical analyses, the study demonstrates that metasomatism dominantly occurs at the contact between metavolcanic layers and serpentinite, influencing the chemical composition and rheological properties of the melange.

Ophicalcites from the Upper Tectonic Unit on Tinos, Cyclades, Greece: mineralogical, geochemical and isotope evidence for their origin and evolution

C. Mavrogonatos et al.

Summary: The ophicalcites on the island of Tinos, Greece, consist mainly of brecciated serpentinites cemented by calcite, with five varieties identified based on their textures, mineralogy, and deformation features. Carbon and oxygen isotope ratios of calcite suggest precipitation from mixed marine and hydrothermal fluids, followed by overprinting by greenschist-facies metamorphism. The ophicalcites record intraoceanic exhumation of ultramafics at the seafloor, possibly due to obduction tectonics, transpressional transform faults, or slip along detachment faults of oceanic core complexes.
