The Campi Flegrei (CF) caldera, in southern Italy, is the source of some most powerful Late Pleistocene eruptions European sub-continent (e.g., Campanian Ignimbrite, Neapolitan Yellow Tuff eruptions). Although CF caldera has been continuously and intensively investigated for decades, relatively little known regarding its earliest volcanic activity. In this work, integrating existing new tephrostratigraphic data, we provide a comprehensive updated framework activity which occurred at ∼160 ka...
A 1:5,000 scale geological map and 31 cross-sections are presented for the surroundings of Amatrice village (central Apennines, Italy), epicentral area first damaging earthquake 2016–2017 seismic sequence. This detailed dataset focuses on: (i) extent, thickness, internal stratigraphic architecture Quaternary continental deposits; (ii) bedding thickness Miocene substratum; (iii) spatial distribution main fault systems. The provided would update available regional maps in deciphering...
Myxicola infundibulum Montagu, 1808 is the most reported species of its genus, showing an unusually wide distribution from Mediterranean area to Australia, North Europe, and America, a situation deriving synonymizing numerous with M. infundibulum. Recently, genetic analysis confirmed that Australian form this introduced taxon area, while examined American specimens were genetically morphologically different. In present paper we travel through history first descriptions, trying trace both...
New stratigraphic constraints have been detailed for the Amatrice Basin, an intermountain morpho‐structural depression of central Apennines (Italy) hosting up to 60‐m‐thick Quaternary continental deposits. Through results coming from a 1:5,000 scale field survey and facies analyses, we documented geometry, thickness, extent post‐orogenic deposits filling this basin. The form complex architecture purely aggradational aggradational/degradational terraces with dominant component conglomerates...
The Phlegrean Volcanic District is well known for its geoarchaeological evidence of vertical ground movements and coastal changes since the Roman period. In this paper we present results obtained by studying geomorphology archaeology offshore Vivara Procida islands, which were frequented Aegean-Mycenaeans during Bronze Age. study allowed several palaeo-coastlines to be identified between 1 21 m b.s.l.. lowest one tentatively assigned ca. 7000 BP, while those -18 -10 are referred date 18th...
This paper deals with the origin of Pretare clastic deposit (PRA), which crops out along Morricone fluvial valley in Central Apennines Italy. With aim deciphering genesis PRA deposit, geological s.l. and geomorphological analyses were carried allowing for interpretation as a rock avalanche. Furthermore, cross sections constrained by well-log field survey data, together stratigraphic, sedimentologic, morphometric analyses, allowed us to assign catastrophic slope failure, occurred during cold...
