During middle-late Pleistocene southern Thrace coast was imposed a transgression that caused the
recession of the coast line with respect to the recent one. On this coast line that was developed as a result of the transgression
which caused Paleo-Marmara sea to translate into an archipelago, shoreline elastics including Ostrea edulis,
Loripes lacteus abudance zone and beach rock horizon deposited. The units which were deposited in the various paleodepositional
areas were elevated by tectonic activity, thus gained a regressive character. Successively they were
transported back into the sea. The deposits that are preserved up to recent, have different elevations due to their paleogeographical
locations and tectonfcs influences. In the marine deposits having imprints of regional uplift, Marmara formation
represented by shore line facies of Paleo-Marmara sea was deposited. The elevated Holocene deposits including
Cardium sp. and Murexsp. above recent sea level indicate that comprasional regime is still active.
