In this paper the stratigraphical, structural, geochemical and petrological features of the Othrys (Greece) ophiolitic nappe is summarised. This nappe is located between the west-verging imbricate stack of thrust sheets derived from the Adria plate continental margin to the west and the Pelagonian zone to the east. It is represented by several end-members represented by the sub-ophiolite mélange, the ophiolite sequence(s) with their sedimentary oceanic cover and the supra-ophiolite deposits. The ophiolite sequence is characterised at their base by a well-developed metamorphic sole that represents a further end-member of the ophiolitic nappe. The features of all the end-members recognised in the studied ophiolitic nappe allows providing further constraints for the geodynamic reconstructions of the Mesozoic Tethyan oceanic basin located eastwards of the Adria plate

Abstract
In this paper the stratigraphical, structural, geochemical and petrological features of the Othrys (Greece) ophiolitic nappe is summarised. This nappe is located between the west-verging imbricate stack of thrust sheets derived from the Adria plate continental margin to the west and the Pelagonian zone to the east. It is represented by several end-members represented by the sub-ophiolite mélange, the ophiolite sequence(s) with their sedimentary oceanic cover and the supra-ophiolite deposits. The ophiolite sequence is characterised at their base by a well-developed metamorphic sole that represents a further end-member of the ophiolitic nappe. The features of all the end-members recognised in the studied ophiolitic nappe allows providing further constraints for the geodynamic reconstructions of the Mesozoic Tethyan oceanic basin located eastwards of the Adria plateI documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
