oa Kerpini Fault Controlled Sedimentation in Kerpini Fault Block, Greece

Sedimentary rocks in Kerpini Fault Block can be distinguished into three main groups, from the oldest to youngest as the following: 1) Fluvial Sandstone-Conglomerate, 2) Alluvial Fan Conglomerate, and 3) Late Fluvial Sandstone-Conglomerate.

The first and second groups were deposited in the early syn-sedimentary phase while the third group in the late syn-sedimentary phase.

The general dip directions of the syn-fault deposits (southeast) is slightly oriented towards the maximum throw of the fault. The constant dip for these sediments can be explained by the location of reverse drag of the fault that far north away from the Kerpini fault.
