heal.abstract	An integrated structural study of the Ptolemais basin of Northern Greece allows assessment of deformation processes and their implication in the Pliocene-Quaternary structural evolution of this part of Western Macedonia. Normal and reverse faults within Plio-Quaternary sediments, NE-SW striking anticlines in both Plio-Quaternary sediments and pre-Tertiary basement-units, torsions and deformation partitioning, highlight the particular characteristics of intra-plate deformation. Field investigations and drilling data infer the conclusion that intra-plate processes were governed by progressive shear strain during the Plio-Quaternary. A new kinematic model for the development of the Ptolemais basin is proposed, showing the importance of progressive shear strain.	en
