AMS 14C and calibrated ages of sediment core GeoB10426-1

Newly acquired bathymetric and seismic reflection data have revealed mass-transport deposits (MTDs) on the northeastern Cretan margin in the active Hellenic subduction zone. These include a stack of two submarine landslides within the Malia Basin with a total volume of approximately 4.6 km**3 covering an area of about 135 km**2. These two MTDs have different geometry, internal deformations and transport structures. The older and stratigraphic lower MTD is interpreted as a debrite that fills a large part of the Malia Basin, while the second, younger MTD, with an age of at least 12.6 cal. ka B.P., indicate a thick, lens-shaped, partially translational landslide. This MTD comprises multiple slide masses with internal structure varying from highly deformed to nearly undeformed. The reconstructed source area of the older MTD is located in the westernmost Malia Basin. […]

新近获取的测深和地震反射数据揭示了位于活跃的希伦尼克俯冲带东北部克里特边缘的大量运移沉积（MTDs）。这些沉积包括马尔亚盆地内两处海底滑坡的堆积体，总体积约为4.6立方公里，覆盖面积约为135平方公里。这两处MTDs在几何形状、内部变形和运移结构上存在差异。较老且地层较低的MTDs被解释为填充马尔亚盆地大部分区域的碎屑岩，而第二处较新的MTDs，其年龄至少为12.6千年前（校正年代），表现为一种厚实的、透镜状的、部分滑动型的滑坡。该MTDs由多个滑动体组成，其内部结构从高度变形到几乎未变形不等。较老MTDs的重建源区位于马尔亚盆地的最西部。[...]
