    Preliminary tectonostratigraphy results from the Small Trocharis mountain, north-east Lefka Ori, western Crete. Highlight Here we describe our mapping results, for the updated stratigraphy of the Plattenkalk unit, and the tectonic contacts in Small Trocharis Mountain at northeast Lefka Ori of the island of Crete. The most prominent finding is that in the northeast , close to the peak of Ag Pneuma Melidoniou the thin bedded marble with silex (upper Jurassic-Eocene) is overlain by the upper Triassic to lower Jurassic white marble (Plattenkalk unit, both) and the contact between them appears as a primary conformable depositional contact. The previous shows a possible overturned structure. Background and Objective Nikolaidis et al. (2013) estimated the capacity of the karstic aquifer at 500x10 6 m 3 for the Koiliaris watershed and the associated extended karstified area outside the watershed. The extended karst area is delineated in the region of the two deepest caves (sinkholes) in Greece, the Liontari (1100 m deep) and the Gourgouthakas caves (1208 m deep). Our study covers the extended karstic watershed. The objective of this work, under the IGCP-715 project, is to update our existing understanding of the geological model in the area and as well as to provide detailed lithological and structural insights for the extended karst area.
