In this paper we illustrate the stratigraphic and structural features of Sibillini Mountains on basis a 1:40.000 geological map. Following “Foglio 132 Norcia” (Geological Map Italy at 1:100.000 scale; [Scarsella, 1941][1]), new map is first cartographic document that covers whole area Mts. This key for understanding evolution external zones Apennine orogen, mostly owing to pronounced elevation ridge area. allowed us to: ) carry out analyses Umbria-Marche sedimentary cover oldest units; b...
Abstract This paper presents a new southern North Atlantic plate model from Late Cretaceous to present, with the aim of constraining kinematics Iberian during last 83.5 Myr. is presented along detailed isochron map generated through analysis 3 aeromagnetic tracks and ~400 ship National Centers for Environmental Information database. We present technique obtain well‐constrained estimates Iberia‐North America motions magnetic anomalies, overcoming scarcity large‐offset fracture zones transform...
Abstract The relatively short‐term effects of ridge subduction may be evaluated in the Peruvian region recent (4 and 5 Ma) arrival Nazca Ridge at interface. Such are superposed onto—and mostly discernible from—those a long‐term, Cretaceous to Miocene tectonic evolution. A comprehensive two‐dimensional model was built analyze interaction between “young” preexisting structural framework overriding plate. This involved construction an approximately 1,000 km long 180 deep section integrating...
The sequence stratigraphic framework and a summary of the fossil fauna upper Miocene portion Pisco Formation exposed along western side Ica River (southern Peru) is presented through new geological map encompassing an area about 200 km 2 detailed chronostratigraphic analyses. Extensive field mapping sedimentological study outcrop sections have shown that cyclical sediment unit composed at least three fining-upward, unconformity-bounded depositional sequences, designated P0, P1, P2 from...
This paper describes a ∼200 m-thick section of the Pisco Formation exposed at Cerro Colorado, an important fossiliferous site in Ica desert. In order to properly place fauna its correct relative position, this study establishes stratigraphic framework within which different fossil-bearing intervals can be compared and may prove invaluable future high-resolution studies on faunal change. Most deposits Colorado consist gently dipping fine-grained sandstones, diatomaceous siltstones diatomites...
The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden represent two young basins that formed between Africa Arabia since the early Oligocene, floored by oceanic crust or transitional thinned continental crust.While in easternmost Aden, rift-drift transition can be dated chron C6 (∼20.1 Ma), here we show first pulse seafloor spreading occurred during C3n.2n (∼4.6 Ma) around ∼17.1 • N (present-day coordinates) propagated southwards from this location, separating Danakil microplate Arabia.It is also shown Nubia started...
This paper is the first integrated account of sedimentology, stratigraphy, and vertebrate paleontology for marine strata Chilcatay Formation exposed at Ullujaya, Pisco basin (southern Peru). An allostratigraphic framework investigated was established using geological mapping (1:4000 scale) conventional sedimentary facies analysis resulted in recognition two unconformity-bounded allomembers (designated Ct1 Ct2 ascending order). The chronostratigraphic well constrained by integration...
The enormous concentration of marine vertebrates documented within the Pisco Formation is unique for Peru and South America places this unit among prime fossil Lagerstätten Miocene to Pliocene mammals worldwide. In order provide a robust stratigraphic framework fossil-bearing locality Cerro Los Quesos, study presents 1:10,000 scale geological map covering an area about 21 km2, detailed measured section spanning 290 m strata, refined chronostratigraphy studied succession well constrained by...
Field mapping and sedimentological study of outcrop sections exposed along the Ica River valley permitted establishment a regional allostratigraphic framework for upper Miocene portion Pisco Formation. The stratigraphy studied interval is illustrated using new 1:20,000-scale geological map which reveals that this formation cyclical sedimentary succession composed three fining-upward allomembers. bounding surfaces defining each allomember are transgressively modified subaerial unconformities....
The Cenozoic succession of the East Pisco Basin preserves sedimentary record several episodes deformation forearc crust along Peruvian margin. 1:50,000 scale geological map presented here encompasses an area about 1,000 km2 lying astride Ica River, and contributes to our understanding timing mode basin filling deformation. Our novel two-fold megasequence framework provides a sound basis for establishing first-order tectono-stratigraphic setting mid-Eocene–upper Miocene exposed in study area....
<p>On August 24th 2016 a Mw=6.0 earthquake hit central Italy, with the epicenter located at boundaries between Lazio, Marche, Abruzzi and Umbria regions, near village of Accumoli (Rieti, Lazio). Immediately after mainshock, this geological survey has been focused on environmental effects related to tectonic reactivation previously mapped active fault (i.e. primary), as well secondary mostly seismic shaking (e.g. landslides fracturing in soil rock).This paper brings data superficial...
ABSTRACT Based on mapping of laterally traceable stratigraphic discontinuities, we propose a high-resolution allostratigraphic scheme for one the world's foremost fossil marine vertebrate Lagerstätten: lower Miocene strata Chilcatay Formation exposed along Ica River near Zamaca, southern Peru. Measured sections combined with 1:10,000 scale 24 km2 area provide an overview stratal architecture, as well general facies framework and interpretation various depositional settings. As whole,...
We defined the seismotectonic setting of external Marche Apennines (central Italy) by integrating geomorphological, structural and seismological data. The area is characterized strong historical earthquakes, but geometries kinematics seismogenic sources have not previously been well defined. Plio-Quaternary Apennine compressional NW–SE structures are segmented NE–SW-oriented transversal faults, origin role which still debated. geometry, activity four main faults to better define their...
The Marche‐Abruzzi thrust system is part of the Central Apennine fold‐and‐thrust belt mainland Italy. Our study area covers SE portion Umbria‐Marche‐Abruzzi region and northern Gran Sasso Mountains. A thick pile turbidites exposed in this area; they were deposited within a Messinian foredeep front evolving belt. We have used regional structural interpretations together with unpublished well‐log seismic data to construct cross‐section across external system. work suggests that: (i)...
We report 130 vertebrate fossils preserved as bony elements and the co-occurring assemblage of fish teeth spines from lower strata Pisco Formation exposed along western side Ica Valley (East Basin, Peru). Geological mapping at 1:10,000 scale reveals that all these originate Langhian–Serravallian P0 allomember. In study area, is up to ∼40 m thick features a sandy portion, reflecting shoreface deposition, fines upwards into package offshore silts. Marine vertebrates only occur in layers...
