Constantinou, at the Skouriotissa Mine. 6 Introduction and Acknowledgments The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, SEG Student Chapter organized the field trip to Cyprus, April 29th-May 5th 2019, entitled “Ophiolite hosted mineral deposits and sustainability-Cyprus”, as a part of the Student Chapter’s activities, and was in part funded by the Stewart R. Wallace Funding scheme. As field participants, over the course of the field trip we had the chance to observe some of the most unique geological formations in the world and gain a great amount of knowledge over a wide variety of geological fields of study and mining. All the participants are very grateful for the financial support provided by the Society of Economic Geologists. Also, the participants would like to thank Amalthia Trading Ltd. company and Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization (EPPO) of Greece for their generous sponsorships that helped implement the field trip. In addition, the Youth Board of Cyprus offered lunch and hospitality in the center of Nicosia. We would also like to thank the Geological Survey Department of Cyprus for their hospitality and briefing on, and their activities, and the geology, tectonic regime and seismicity of Cyprus area. Special thanks go to Mr. G. Constantinou, who was our guide throughout the field trip. 7 Geological Background The Troodos ophiolite (Fig. 2) of Cyprus is a rare example of remnant oceanic lithosphere that is currently in the process of emplacement onto continental crust along an active subduction plate boundary, where incipient continental subduction/collision has started only very recently [e.g., Poole et al.,1990]. These make the Troodos ophiolite a unique site to explore ophiolite emplacement mechanisms and be acquainted with the long-lasting bewilderment of how dense oceanic lithosphere is obducted over the continental crust rather than sink into the asthenosphere. Understanding the role of different ophiolite emplacement mechanisms can been masked by accurate determination of the timing of uplift of the ophiolite and its chronologic relation to tectonic events (i.e. oceanic subduction, accretion, continental subduction and collision) that ultimately lead to its emplacement onto continental crust. Despite being at the very early stages of collision with the continental margin of the African plate, represented in this area by the Eratosthenes Seamount, the Troodos ophiolite is already uplifted to approximately 2000m above sea level (asl) and exhumed down to its mantle sequence. Previous studies, suggested that the main Troodos Massif emerged above sea level in the early Miocene and apparently underwent a significant erosion phase during the early Pleistocene [e.g., Poole and Robertson, 1991]. This erosion was inferred to reflect early Pleistocene uplift of the main Troodos Massif, corresponding to the timing of increased subsidence of the Eratosthenes Seamount to the south of the Cyprus subduction trench. It was thus hypothesized that initiation of uplift resulted from underthrusting and collision of the Eratosthenes Sea mount continental crust. However, the uplift pattern observed in the Troodos massif is somewhat different from that expected in subduction-collision tectonic settings. It does not include major subhorizontal deformation structures, i.e. thrusting and stacking, and is characterized by dome-shaped uplift at the central part of the massif, accompanied in places by steep normal faults. This style of uplift and deformation has been attributed to diapiric rise of serpentinized mantle rocks, which are currently exposed at the core of the Troodos massif around Mount Olympus. Several studies have suggested that collision of the Eratosthenes continental crust has triggered enhanced serpentinization of the Troodos mantle rocks [Poole and Robertson, 1991]. However, no specific mechanism was suggested to explain the

The professors and curators in IPCAA, the Kelsey Museum, and the Museum of Anthropology at Michigan also furnished welcome advice and assistance. On Cyprus I had the good luck to work with Sturt Manning, Carole McCartney, Steven Falconer, Kevin Fisher, Paul Croft, and Eilis Monahan. I am also grateful to Ian Todd and Allison South for their hospitality in Kalavasos, and for sharing their intimate knowledge of the Vasilikos Valley. Stuart Swiny and Alan Simmons patiently answered questions, while Bernard Knapp and Matthew Spigelman were kind enough to share drafts of their work. Most foreign scholars who work on Cyprus for any length of time come to know the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI) in Nicosia as a second home. The Director, Tom Davis, Diana Constantinides, the Librarian, and Vathoulla Moustoukki, the Executive Assistant, helped with a hundred things. My fellow graduate students in IPCAA, anthropological archaeology, and Near Eastern Studies have been my most encouraging colleagues and most honest critics: Lindsey Ambridge, Lisa Cakmak, Cat Crawford, Henry Colburn, Ryan Hughes, Tom Landvatter, Amanda Logan, Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, Adrian Ossi, Colin Quinn, Dan iii Shoup, and Adela Sobotkova.

Similar to earlier studies, we fi nd that island-arc tholeiite of the lower pillow lava sequence erupted fi rst, followed by boninite. We further divide boninitic rocks into boninite making up the upper pillow lava sequence, and depleted boninites that we consider late infi ll lavas.

  • 43. Pleistocene Fanglomerate Deposition Related to Uplift of the Troodos Ophiolite, Cyprus1
    Robertson, A.H.F., Emeis, K.-C., Richter, C., and Camerlenghi, A. (Eds.), 1998 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 160 43. PLEISTOCENE FANGLOMERATE DEPOSITION RELATED TO UPLIFT OF THE TROODOS OPHIOLITE, CYPRUS1 Andrew Poole2 and Alastair Robertson3 ABSTRACT The Pleistocene Fanglomerate Group of the southern part of Cyprus exemplifies coarse alluvial clastic deposition within a zone of focused tectonic uplift, related to collision of African and Eurasian plates, as documented by Ocean Drilling Program Leg 160. During the Pleistocene, the Troodos ophiolite was progressively unroofed, resulting in a near-radial pattern of coarse clastic sedimentation. The Pleistocene Fanglomerate Group depositionally overlies Pliocene marine sediments. Along the southern margin of the Troodos Massif the contact is erosional, whereas along its northern margin a regressive fan-delta (Kakkaristra Fm.) intervenes. The Pleistocene Fanglomerate Group is subdivided into four units (termed F1−F4), each of which were formed at progres- sively lower topographic levels. A wide variety of alluvial units are recognized within these, representing mainly high-energy coarse alluvial fans, channel fans, braidstream, and floodplain environments. A near-radial sediment dispersal pattern away from Mt. Olympos is indicated by paleocurrent studies, based on clast imbrication. Provenance studies indicate relatively early unroofing of the ophiolite, but with only minor localized erosion of ultramafic rocks from the Mt. Olympos area. Clasts of erosionally resistant lithologies, notably ophiolitic diabase and Miocene reef- related limestone, are volumetrically over-represented, relative to friable basalt and early Tertiary pelagic carbonate sediments. The younger Fanglomerate Group units (F3 and F4) can be correlated with littoral marine terraces previously dated radio- metrically at about 185−219 ka and 116−134 ka, respectively.

  • Authentic Cyprus Guide.Pdf
    introShort This guidebook has been designed to provide visitors with an extensive insight into the delightful world of rural Cyprus. This is a world apart from the beaches and tourist hotspots. Here, timeless villages, tiny remote painted churches, stunning scenery, forested mountain trails and a way of life that has hardly changed over the past centuries, are just waiting to be discovered. The first part of this book provides general information on rural Cyprus, its history, traditions, cultures, flora and fauna, places of interest and more. The second half of the book, details 15 recommended driving excursions. All of the routes can be accomplished easily within a day’s drive in a regular car, yet all have something different to offer. The routes highlight points-of-interest along the way and all start and finish on one of the main roads. These routes are also ideal for organised group tours with small buses. The routes include places to stop for walking, cycling, bird watching, fresh-water fishing or to simply explore the countryside and charming villages. All that’s needed is a good road map, a sunhat, plenty of water, comfortable walking shoes and a spirit of adventure. NOTE: The spellings of all place-names conform to those indicated on the road signs. However, in some cases, these may vary from those shown on your road map.
