Paleolatitudes of Late Triassic radiolarian cherts from Argolis, Greece: Insights on the paleogeography of the western Tethys

The Hellenides fold-and-thrust range comprises two subparallel ophiolite belts of Triassic to Jurassic age – the external ophiolite belt (e.g., Mirdita, Pindos, Argolis) in the west, and the internal ophiolite belt in the east – broadly separated by the continental crust units of the Korabi–Pelagonian Zone. It is still a matter of debate whether these ophiolites derived from a single ocean (Meliata–Maliac–Vardar) or mark the suture of two...
