Sea-floor spreading in the Meliata zone culminated in Middle Triassic (Ladinian) time and ceased in the Late Triassic, and subduction occurred from this time until Late Jurassic closure. In contrast, sea-floor spreading in the Vardar zone began in Early Jurassic time and culminated in the Middle Jurassic, and subduction occurred from latest Jurassic time. In the Pindos zone, sea-floor spreading was initiated in the Early Triassic, with Late Jurassic and early Tertiary subduction. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
