Abstract

Lithospheric extension during the Miocene is well documented in the Aegean. Within the

Central and Western Cyclades extension has been documented in detail by the formation of

Metamorphic Core Complexes and movement along low-angle normal faults (LANFs). Focusing on a

hitherto unrecognised main low-angled fault geometry outcropping on northern Kea, this work presents

pervasive evidence of top-to-south kinematics.
