Abstract

The marine and transitional terrains extensively cropping out near Varda were studied and dated through Th/U measurements on corals. The dates range between 103 and 209 Kyr BP indicating a Tyrrhenian age for the entire sequence. From their areal distribution, the deposits appear to belong to three distinct transgressive cycles in onlap relations. Their ages substantially correspond on the well known 5.3, 5.5 and 7.1 isotopic sub-stages. -from Authors
