The most significant results of the two month cruise of the Glomar Challenger into the Mediterranean will come from detailed studies of the hundreds of meters of recovered sediments and rocks obtained from a total of twenty-eight holes drilled at fifteen locations. As has turned out to be the case for so many of the expeditions of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, a few of the preliminary findings have confirmed earlier working hypotheses, but so many more have turned up new puzzles and surprises. The preliminary interpretations of the geological results of each drill site are treated in the individual site reports of Part I of this volume. The intention of this present chapter is to summarize highlights of these site reports in a somewhat broader perspective. The main problems to be considered are new implications derived from drilling concerning the genesis and ages of the various Mediterranean basins, and the new evidence concerning compressional tectonics of the sea bed. More specialized investigations of lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic findings and problems are treated in subsequent chapters.
