Abstract
SUMMARY The ophiolite belt of this study is located at the eastern side of the Vardar zone. Magnetic and gravity data are interpreted with the aid of seismic reflection data and borehole information. Results show that the Guevgheli, Oreokastro and Chalkidhiki ophiolite bodies probably belong to the same belt. This belt continues under the sediments of the Axios basin. It has a limited thickness of 1.0-3.0 km and width of 15-20 km. Its flat lower surface and its thickness contradicts the hypothesis of an ‘in situ’ ophiolite. It is more likely that this Tethyan, mid-Jurassic ophiolite belt has been thrust to its present position.
