UPPER QUATERNARY LITHOFACIES ASSOCIATIONS IN A DEEP SEA CORE RETRIEVED IN THE SOUTH EAST AEGEAN SEA

During the upper quaternary period in the eastern Mediterranean, the sea level changes are well depicted in the stratigraphic records and thus, we can detect these changes through sedimentation and core data by correlating the various lithostratigraphic phases with the already published paleodepths and the isotopic level curved. During these graduate phases, gravity core data from the Gulf of Mirambello were analyzed of its magnetic susceptibility, carbonate content and granulometry were presented in diagrams. During Core analysis of M-15-234, a sapropelic layer corresponding to the well-established S1 sapropel of the eastern Mediterranean was identified at 40-52cm of the core length. Moreover, a well-developed interval of mud with tephra and crypto tephra fragments were observed at 20-24cm of the core length. This tephra layer is probably associated with the Minoan explosive eruption of the Santorini volcano.
