Abstract

The E-W trending left-lateral Souli Fault, an old Alpine structure in Epirus, northwestern Greece, affecting Lias-Eocene carbonate and siliceous rocks and Oligocene-Burdigalian flysch exhibits geological evidence of past individual coseismic events. Along some sectors of the fault, or in associated structures, young morphotectonic features have been recognised thereby emphasising the recency of tectonic activity. In a natural paleoseismological section, at least three distinct seismic events pre- and post-dating wedge layers of 20,000 to 26,000 yr (C14) lignite type sediments, have been recognised.
