Abstract
Geophysical techniques have been used to investigate the subsurface distribution and likely mode of emplacement of outcropping ultramafic bodies of ophiolitic affinity in the Greek part of the Rhodope Massif. In addition, a geophysical study in the area of the Orestias basin, in the northeastern part of the Greek Rhodope region, shows ultramafic rocks to occur under a cover of about 2 km of sediments. The interpreted distribution of ultramafic rocks is used to assess the mode of ophiolite emplacement. It is concluded that the outcropping and concealed ophiolites have a similar geometry. These are thin bodies south dipping, compatible with the regional model of tectonic emplacement of oceanic lithosphere from the south.
