Abstract

Abstract A relatively small ophiolitic complex in the southern Peloponnese (Agelona) is composed mainly of serpentinites, amphibolites and gabbros. Diagnostic Carnian–Norian radiolaria were extracted from a few metres of red-brownish radiolarian cherts overlying gabbros. The contact between radiolarites and gabbros seems to be stratigraphic. These Late Triassic deep-sea sediments would represent accumulation of radiolarian ooze on a rugged Tethyan oceanic floor situated near a medio-oceanic ridge.
