Marko Komac, EFG President European Federation of Geologists C/O Service Géologique de Belgique Rue Jenner 13 B-1000 Bruxelles, Belgium Dear Reader, Tel: +32 2 7887636 [email protected] It is my great pleasure that I can for the first time write the www.eurogeologists.eu foreword for the European Geologist in which we address the topic of the geological heritage of Europe. The issue of geological heritage, “geoheritage” for short, is EFG BOARD probably the most recently addressed domain in geological sciences and has been recognised as one of the best opportu- PRESIDENT nities to promote geology to a wider public. And although the EurGeol. Marko Komac term “geoheritage” seems obvious, it often represents different [email protected] concepts to different people. Logically, a question arises: what does geological heritage mean? It could mean using the same building material (stones) in restorative architecture as that from which the buildings were VICE-PRESIDENT originally constructed. It could mean passing geological knowledge to experts through EurGeol. Michael Neumann training, students through higher-level teaching or the general public through education, [email protected] raising interest in geological topics (rocks, fossils, processes). It could mean preserving either geo-sites and materials or the technological heritage related to geology and mining, SECRETARY-GENERAL at a local level or at an internationally recognised level through the UNESCO Global EurGeol. Gabriele Ponzoni Geopark Network. [email protected] To recapitulate all of the above-mentioned areas, geoheritage addresses the conservation of the Earth’s related relics and contemporary processes, either by physical protection or TREASURER by descriptive means, with the aim of their preservation, management and understandable EurGeol. Ruth Allington interpretation to both experts and the wider public. [email protected] Putting it in simple words, geoheritage is about preserving Earth’s treasures for the future. Trying to put it into the frame of trending topics, it also involves tackling the present chal- lenges society is facing, including the climate crisis – all this is a part of our geoheritage. EXTERNAL RELATIONS OFFICER Despite the possibility that I may be understood as being controversial, it is my opinion that EurGeol. Pavlos Tyrologou not addressing the climate crisis could lead to the disappearance of numerous treasures of [email protected] the Earth belonging to the geoheritage and as such often even legally protected. The current issue of the European Geologist tries to address various aspects of geoheritage, from different thematic and different cultural perspectives, which gives it additional value EDITORIAL BOARD in understanding how to approach geological heritage in specific situations with specific Éva Hartai (Editor in chief) topics and at specific scales.

In all cases, original documents and photocopies are required. You should approach the Greek Authorities for detailed information on the documents required or further clarification. Please note that some authorities work by appointment and will request that you book an appointment in advance. Required documents in the case of a working person: 1. Valid passport. 2. Two (2) photos. 3. Applicant’s proof of address [a document containing both the applicant’s name and address e.g. photocopy of the house lease, public utility bill (DEH, OTE, EYDAP) or statement from Tax Office (Tax Return)].

  • Structure and History of Hellenides
    Argyriadis, I. and Forti, S., 2016. Structure and history of Hellenides. Boletín Geológico y Minero, 127 (2/3): 575-592 ISSN: 0366-0176 Structure and history of Hellenides Ion Argyriadis(1) and Silvia Forti(2) (1) Cabinet de Géologie Argyriadis, 975 chemin du Pré de Caune, 83740 La Cadière d’Azur, France [email protected] (2) Via Verseiner 44/B, Meltina, 39010 Italia [email protected] ABSTRACT This study is based on some new field observations made on the group of the Eastern Hellenic regions. Our observations have led us to adopt a simplified view of the paleogeography of the Greek mainland before the Alpine orogenesis. The subsequent varied tectonic units originate mainly from the following paleogeo- graphic areas: • A carbonate Arabo-African shelf margin which displays several lateral transitions, ridges and basins. On the Greek mainland this margin is represented by the Preapulian, Ionian, Gavrovo-Tripolis, Parnassos zones, the Olympus platform and probably the Kavala and Thassos marble. • A transition zone from the shelf units to the Tethys ophiolites (Pindos Zone, Styra, Argolis and Hydra, Eretrias new unit). • Tethys ophiolites, which might represent either an “ocean” fault zone or subduction of the lithosphere along a weak area. • A Hercynian continental mass (Serbomacedonian). This group is currently completed by the presence of a large tectonic mélange connected to the ophiolite overthrust. Key words: Hellenides, structural geology, ophiolites emplacement, actualism Estructura e historia de las Helénides RESUMEN Recientes trabajos de campo nos permiten llegar a una nueva lectura del conjunto de datos así como a la nue- va interpretación que resulta de los mismos Distinguimos por ende, para el conjunto de las Hellenidas, cinco unidades paleo-geográficas mayores, escalonadas entre Paleo África y Europa, quiénes, mediantes fases tectónicas superpuestas - y no paralelas, ni tampoco de igual desplazamiento, conformaron el edifico actual: • Una plataforma carbonatada arabo-africana, incluyendo variaciones laterales y longitudinales.

The smoke of the fire of Kineta as seen in the center of Athens at 13:08 Fire weather and vegetation condition • According to weather measurements at the National Observatory of Athens on Mt.

  • Lower Pliocene (Zanclean) Regressive Sequence of Rafina Near Pikermi in Attica, Greece: a Spectacular Locality of Mass-Aggregated Giant Balanid Cirripedes*
    DERMITZAKHS 16/10/2009 10:55 Σελίδα9 9 Lower Pliocene (Zanclean) regressive sequence of Rafina near Pikermi in Attica, Greece: A spectacular locality of mass-aggregated giant balanid cirripedes* Michalis D.

All balanids, regardless of their solitary or clustered lifestyle, are post-mortem transported, abraded and/or bioeroded, and deposited in offshore tempestites during high-stand pulses. The burrows of the callianassid shrimp Upogebia, and of the ghost crab Ocypode, indicate short-termed, extremely shallow sub- to intertidal low-stand pulses. The whole sequence, be- ing the uppermost part of the ‘post-Pikermian’, Lower Pliocene (Zanclean) marine overflood, is composed of three, successively thinning, shallowing-up cyclothems, topped by sub- to intertidal and/or emersive episodes, the last of which is featured by beachrock horizons that terminate the regressive events preceding an encroachment of the potamogenic (fluvial and/or deltaic) regime. Key-words: Regressive cyclothems, Balanid cirripedes, Eco-taphonomy, Burrows, Mass burial, Fossillagerstätte, Pliocene, Greece.

    Biodiversity Journal, 2017, 8 (2): 315–389 MONOGRAPH Revision of the genus Amphiope L. Agassiz, 1840 (Echinoidea Astriclypeidae) with the description of a new species from the Miocene of France Paolo Stara1& Enrico Borghi2 1Centro Studi di Storia Naturale del Mediterraneo - Museo di Storia Naturale Aquilegia and Geomuseo Monte Arci, Masullas, Oristano, Sardinia, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] 2Società Reggiana di Scienze Naturali, Via Tosti 1, 42100 Reggio Emilia, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The taxonomy of Amphiope L. Agassiz, 1840 (Echinoidea, Astriclypeidae), an echinoid dis- tributed in the Oligo-Miocene of Central and Southern Europe, is largely unresolved since the description of most species attributed to this genus was based only on the external mor- phological features, while important characters, such as the oral plating and the internal sup- port system, were poorly illustrated or completely omitted. Additionally, the type material of some species was missing or badly preserved and geographical/stratigraphical information about the type-locality was unclear. This was the case also for Amphiope bioculata (Des Moulins, 1837), the type species of the genus. The poor definition of the earlier described species of Amphiope prevented comparison with fossils from other localities and ages, sub- sequently attributed to this genus. A large part of the earlier species of Amphiope, key-taxa for the resolution of the complex taxonomy of this genus, are herein revised by modern meth- ods. For this purpose, the type material available in public institutions has been re-examined and, when possible, new topo-typic material has been collected. As a result, the morphological description of A.
