The Cretaceous to Quaternary succession of the Apulia Platform cropping out on eastern coast Salento Peninsula shows a special stratigraphic architecture. Whereas platform top, i.e. proper, is at most few tens metres thick and punctuated by unconformities, margin slope platform, along present-day peninsula, several carbonate systems are laterally disposed grafted one upon other. Three these clinostratified include well developed reef tracts Priabonian, early Chattian Messinian age. geologic...
The Monte Postale section (Bolca, northern Italy), one of the most famous Lagerstätten Eocene, has been investigated to reconstruct sedimentary succession and determine both larger foraminiferal calcareous nannofossil biozones.The results allowed us ascribe limestones Shallow Benthic Zone 11 CNE 5-?6 (¼ NP 13-?14a).The direct correlation SB Zones is consistent with current biostratigraphic schemes allows assignment deposition interval between 50.7 48.9 Ma, in late Ypresian (early...
ABSTRACT Upper Messinian carbonates recently recorded in the Salento Peninsula (southern Italy, central Mediterranean) contain microbial facies, including textures never previously described Late Miocene of Mediterranean. This study focuses on geometry and internal fabrics a 3 × 28 m build‐up coalescent dendrolite thrombolite, to examine its formation possible microbes involved, reconstruct growth dynamics related palaeoenvironmental conditions. dendrolites have centimetric dendritic forms...
The large palaeosinkholes located in the NW of Gozo (central Mediterranean Sea, Malta) offer excellent exposures that provide information on geometry and kinematics karst-related collapse structures. Detailed geological analysis these peculiar indicates deep-seated evaporite dissolution is most feasible hypothesis to explain their formation, according following evidence. (1) Several structures have been formed by progressive foundering cylindrical blocks with limited internal deformation as...
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological-mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in skeletal formation most metazoans; (2) induced microbial communities, indirect precipitation mediated their metabolic activities; or (3) influenced organic matter decay, with on specific non-living cell surfaces. Recognition these products direct marker biological activity time and space key...

Topics novelties concerning Geomorphology fit well indications included Ministerial National Guidelines for secondary schools 2nd level general referred to school 1st level, where landscape is...
The lower Messinian Calcare di Rosignano Formation (Tuscany, Italy, 43° N) preserves one of the youngest and northernmost examples coral reefs in Mediterranean. outcropping succession Acquabona quarry consists four main facies, namely, ascending stratigraphic order: (1) boundstone, (2) coralline algal rudstone, (3) serpulid floatstone to packstone, (4) peloidal packstone grainstone. displays a trend toward increasingly more shallow conditions progressively restricted water circulation. reef...
