Lake sediments occur all along the eastern coast of Lesvos from the area of Kratigos to Tokmakia.<\/p>\n<p>The layers of sediments can be observed along the coasts, but even along the road axis Mytilini &#8211; Thermi.<\/p>\n<p>The lacustrine formations consist mainly of freshwater marly limestones, with layers of sandstones, cobbles, whitish marls and clays, with a thickness exceeding 60 meters. Fossils of invertebrate organisms such as gastropods, laminar gills and ostracods are found within the lake formations.<\/p>\n<p>The lake sediments were formed when Lesvos was part of a single continental area, Aegis. At that time, the sea retreated to the South, resulting in the creation of lakes in the Northern and Central Aegean, including the lake of Mytilene.<\/p>\n<p>The geological formations bear witness to the large lake that existed in the area of the sea, between Lesvos and the coasts of Asia Minor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories-thesis":[205],"geologikes-thesis":[217],"oikologikes-thesis":[],"politistikes-thesis":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/7115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/poi"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categories-thesis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories-thesis?post=7115"},{"taxonomy":"geologikes-thesis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/geologikes-thesis?post=7115"},{"taxonomy":"oikologikes-thesis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oikologikes-thesis?post=7115"},{"taxonomy":"politistikes-thesis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/politistikes-thesis?post=7115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
