Recent syn-rift deposits in the hangingwall of the Aigion Fault (Gulf of Corinth, Greece)

Recent deep boreholes Γ1 (205 m) and AIG 10 (1001 m), performed in the Aigion area, bring new information on syn-rift deposits. MIS1/Holocene (11.8–4.3 ka BP) and Upper Pleistocene are identified in the upper part of the boreholes. Below Holocene deposits, the borehole AIG 10 crossed successively a detrital system with fine intercalations and a thick development of clay. No specific dating was possible on this lower formation, so the age of the local basal syn-rift deposits is discussed. To cite this article: F. Lemeille et al., C. R. Geoscience 336 (2004).
