The integration of high-resolution seismic profiles, core data and radiocarbon plus U-Th datings, allows to document the late Quaternary succession Trieste Gulf, which represents easternmost part northern Adriatic Sea. This consists an alternation shallow-marine continental deposits organized compose four transgressive-regressive sequences down ca. 90 m below present sea level. terminate landwards against a stepped surface bounding Eocene Flysch produced by alternating episodes wave erosion...
This work addresses the tectonic significance of a NW–SE-trending strike-slip fault zone in Calabrian Arc southern Italy, Rossano–San Nicola Fault Zone (RSFZ). High-quality seismic reflection and 1D forward models exploration boreholes pseudo-wells show that RSFZ experienced multiple Miocene phases contractional/transpressional tectonics. These were followed by crustal extension during Pliocene, which occurred association with oceanization Tyrrhenian Sea, Apennine orogenesis, collision...
Abstract The Cutro Terrace is a mixed marine to continental terrace, where deposits up 15 m thick discontinuously crop out in an area extending for ca 360 km 2 near Crotone (southern Italy). terrace represents the oldest and highest of area, it has been ascribed isotope stage 7 ( 200 kyr bp ). Detailed facies sequence‐stratigraphic analyses allow recognition suite depositional environments ranging from middle shelf fluvial, two stacked transgressive–regressive cycles (Cutro 1 2) bounded by...
Terra Nova, 22, 324–329, 2010 Abstract The contributions of eustasy and tectonics to the development stratigraphic sequences are commonly hard discern, this has been a controversial topic that is still being debated. New data therefore necessary improve our understanding factors govern sedimentary cyclicity. Data from subsiding Venice uplifting Crotone areas in Italy allow recognition different effects Late Quaternary glacio-eustatic changes regional on sequence architecture at temporal...
Abstract Large-scale submarine gravitational land movements involving even more than 1,000 m thick sedimentary successions are known as megalandslides. We prove the existence of large-scale phenomena off Crotone Basin, a forearc basin located on Ionian side Calabria (southern Italy), by seismic, morpho-bathymetric and well data. Our study reveals that Megalandslide started moving between Late Zanclean Early Piacenzian was triggered contractional tectonic event leading to inversion. Seaward...
Abstract The Plio-Quaternary tectonic evolution of the central sector Sicilian Channel and resulting morphostructural setting have been analyzed using a large geophysical dataset consisting multichannel seismic profiles, which some them never published, available bathymetric data. This area hosts two regional-scale domains that registered complex pattern deformation occurred since Early Pliocene: (1) Rift Zone (SCRZ), can be divided into western formed by Pantelleria graben (PG) in eastern...
The middle Miocene to Quaternary evolution of the Crotone Basin (CB), on Ionian side Calabrian Arc (southern Italy), was strongly controlled by activity NNW- NW-striking Rossano-San Nicola (RSFZ) and Petilia-Sosti (PSFZ) fault zones. integration low frequency 2D seismic reflection profiles, boreholes geological maps has allowed discovery a positive flower structure, which is part RSFZ. Such structure responsible for emplacement an allochthonous unit in Late Tortonian contributed onset...
