Short summary
The island of Patmos is situated in the southern Aegean Sea (Greece), just north of the present locus of active volcanism. The island is almost entirely built up of volcanic rocks that are 6.6 to 5.2 million years old. We obtain these ages with 40Ar / 39Ar dating technique on sanidine and biotite minerals. Our new age data indicate a geologically brief volcanic period (lasting less than 1.5 million years) that can be divided into three volcanic intervals and correlated to tectonics.
