ABSTRACT The Tiber Delta lies on the passive continental margin of central western Italy. is a Late Pleistocene—Holocene sedimentary succession and constitutes an ‘incomplete’high‐frequency depositional sequence (4th or 5th order), which developed from last post‐glacial rise in sea level to present stillstand. It bound by type 1 basal unconformity cuts Pleistocene deposits. Five systems have been identified: (1) coastal barrier—lagoon; (2) shelf‐transition; (3) fluvial braided; (4) lagoonal...
ABSTRACT Using archeological evidence, radiocarbon data, well logs, and high-resolution seismic profiles, we applied sequence-stratigraphic analysis to sediments deposited during the last glacio-eustatic cycle on Tyrrhenian continental margin embracing Tiber River months. These form a high-frequency sequence of fifth order that has developed over 20,000 yr since lowstand, hereafter referred as Depositional Sequence (TDS). The TDS is still evolving lies Type 1 boundary been identified both...
Abstract The Late Pleistocene/Holocene Tiber delta succession represents the most recent and one of best preserved, high‐frequency/low‐rank depositional sequences developed along Latium continental margin Italian peninsula. Several previous studies have established a robust data set from which it has been possible to describe stratigraphic architecture entire sequence landward seaward sectors over distance 60 km. shows many characteristics found in other Pleistocene Holocene deltaic coastal...
The Ficoncella site in northern Latium (Italy) represents a unique opportunity to investigate the modalities of short occupation an alluvial setting during Lower Palaeolithic. small excavation area yielded lithic assemblage, carcass Palaeoloxodon antiquus, and some other faunal remains. main objectives study are better characterize depositional context where assemblage occur, evaluate with greater precision dynamics. A 25 m-long well was drilled just above top terrace remains were analyzed...
ABSTRACT This study presents a detailed 3D lithofacies model of the Upper Pleistocene–Holocene Tiber Depositional Sequence (TDS) within alluvial plain Rome, Italy, developed using an integrated approach. A deterministic framework was used to establish 1D constraints, while geostatistical algorithms, particularly indicator kriging, were employed reconstruct stacking patterns and interfingering systems tracts. methodology allows for realistic depiction depositional trends stratigraphic...
An integrated approach to the study of Central Apennines thrust system has been conducted, combining together new field, geophysical, organic matter maturity and mineralogical datasets. The area comprises one most studied basins Apennines: Laga basin. It developed during Messinian time represents link between internal, uplifted, Lower Miocene fold-and-thrust belt west, external, more recent part the chain, buried below a thick pile synorogenic, Plio-Pleistocene clastic deposits Periadriatic...
This study focuses on the analysis of a carbonate bioclastic pocket beach located along coastal sector Apulia Ionian Sea, Le Dune beach, South Italy. The develops for about 800 m and it is exposed to south-westerly southerly seas. Coastal sediments range from very coarse medium–fine sands they are mainly composed bioclasts (more than 90%) which include molluscs, foraminifers, echinoderms, algae branched, bryozoans, spicules sponges arthropods. area one part marine protected reserve...
Abstract This study reports a high‐resolution micromorphological characterization of floodplain deposits to investigate the relationships among compositional, textural and geotechnical data, integrate soil micromorphology with sequence stratigraphy. Compositional facies associations features are calibrated against parameters. The latter, obtained from cone penetration pocket penetrometer tests borehole advanced 60 m into Tiber channel belt floodplain, show that depositional post‐depositional...
Abstract Sand composition is one of the factors a stratigraphic succession that best records interaction between allogenic and autogenic processes. This particularly true for Quaternary successions where effects this processes are better recognized differentiated. The Roman Basin and, in particular, developed during late early Pleistocene to Holocene, close among tectonic uplift, volcanism, climate, glacio-eustasy. Such reflected complex stratal pattern architecture high-rank low-rank...
