Abstract

Geodynamic controls on Late Pliocene-Holocene kinematics of the Hellenic forearc are assessed using the fan-deltaic basin fill of the Messaras forearc basin of south-central Crete. Previously unrecognized 070° sinistral faults developed in wrench-dominated transtension with strike-slip:normal-slip ratios of 10:1 to 100:1. Coeval folds developed in proximity to the 070° sinistral faults during deposition of the Galini Formation, making them candidates to have developed in transtension, and new chronostratigraphic and
