Abstract

This study focuses on the fauna collected from the sediments, which outcrops on Strofades islands, with the view to defining their age, which so far has been ascribed to the Pleistocene (Tyrhennian). The studied material was sampled from the two islets of Stamfani and Arpya. Between these two, there are several reefs, collectively known as "Soumari reefs". Our studies resulted in the following. 1. Lower Pliocene, L - Middle Pliocene, Uppermost - Middle Pliocene, and Upper Pliocene strata were identified on Stamfani islet. 2. On Arpya islet the determined ages of the outcropping strata are Lower Pliocene, Upper Pliocene and Tortonian - Pleistocene
