The review of recent bathymetric and geophysical data collected in the framework several research cartographic projects have allowed a detailed reconstruction morpho-structural setting (neo)tectonic evolution for both Alpine Apennine margins Ligurian Sea (Italy). widespread occurrence erosional processes sediment mass movements along steep continental slope within system submarine canyons reflect close correlation between active tectonics morpho-dynamic Margin. This relation is better...
Our research is part of the ongoing geological fieldwork aimed at creating 1:50,000 scale "Ormea Sheet" (n. 244) within framework CARG Project (Italian National Geological Cartography). The goal to integrate existing data and observations reconstruct structure evolution European (Alpine) margin. study area located in Ligurian Alps, southeastern end Western Alps. This region crucial for understanding its geodynamic evolution, as contact between lithological units from different domains...
Abstract We report the first description of a ~ 15 km long NE-SW-striking transtensive fault network crosscutting metamorphic units Ligurian Alps. The main zone, hereby named Horse Head Fault Zone , is up to 250 m thick, involves quarzite, metarhyolite, marble and alternation dolostone limestone minor pelite. Relatively narrow (~ 1–3 m-thick) cores are characterized by gouge cataclasites, surrounded brecciated damage zones as thick tens hundreds meters. Damage show widespread evidence for...
Key Points Mylonitic metagabbros cemented by unfoliated Omp + Grt ± Lws matrices show that pristine brecciation may occur at eclogitic conditions Geochemical variations and sharp increase in fluid content of points to local embrittlement prior external fluids ingression Structural geochemical evidence suggest eclogite‐facies can control initial strain localization within HP shear zones
The present research explores a diverse suite of soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) combined with clastic dykes and shear bands distributed throughout Early Miocene-age mixed carbonate-siliciclastic coastal wedge located on the Ligurian coast (NW Italy) Mediterranean region. studied Aquitanian-Serravallian successions Finale Ligure Basin are typified by presence lithologically heterogeneous units, internally characterized abrupt changes lithofacies distributions associated...
Abstract The Tertiary Piedmont Basin (TPB) is a syn‐tectonic Neoalpine–Apennine basin with an upper Eocene–upper Miocene sedimentary succession. It has inner position respect to the arcuate belt of Western and Ligurian Alps, in northwestern Italy. In area north Genova, Scrivia Valley separates two distinct sectors where TPB basal conglomerates display differentiated clast provenance: western sector are fed by metamorphic units central Liguria, whereas eastern most conglomerate clasts come...
ABSTRACT The Monviso metaophiolite complex (W. Alps) is an almost intact fragment of Tethyan oceanic lithosphere metamorphosed to eclogite-facies peak metamorphic conditions during Alpine subduction. This 1:20.000 scale geological map encompasses, in area ∼35 km2, the Unit (MU) and Lago Superiore (LSU). Major focus was given Lower Shear Zone sub-unit (LSZ), where strongly deformed serpentinite-rich matrix are embedded blocks variably brecciated metagabbros. Here, occurrence mylonitic...
Seismic lines and sediment cores collected along the shelf between Albenga Loano (Liguria, NW Italy) allowed an unprecedented reconstruction of characters distribution late Quaternary transgressive littoral deposits. Multiple seismic datasets stratigraphic logs were managed within a single, GIS-based software. This approach merging, analysis, interpretation multimethodological datasets, greatly increasing understanding study area. On reflection lines, identification high-amplitude acoustic...
Abstract The Cascine Parasi Mélange (CPM) of the high-pressure, meta-ophiolitic Voltri Massif (Ligurian Western Alps), consists a foliated chlorite-actinolite greenschist matrix enclosing lenses metabasites and metasediments. surrounding units consist serpentinites not these metamorphic rocks. records three sets folds: (i) Dm1/Dm2 (blueschist to greenschist-facies conditions), which can be correlated folds in metasedimentary blocks; (ii) Dm3, are most obvious field partially re-orient...
