Growing macroscale fold structures are one of the most dynamic and complex systems in
geology, where during fold growth pore fluid pressure, fluid temperature, and fluid …

Jurassic rifting in the Southern Alps and Northern Apennines occurred within a relatively
short (2–4 my) interval of tectonic activity (late Hettangian–early Sinemurian) in proximal …

Recently, in the Northern Apennines, geophysical data have identified the Triassic
Evaporites (TE, anhydrites and dolomites) as the source region of the major extensional …

Meter-scale, peritidal carbonate cycles are a common feature of the geological record but
debate continues about what processes lead to their formation. Three conceptual models, or …

ABSTRACT The Cretaceous and Paleogene pelagic limestone and marl formations of the
Umbria-Marche Apennines of north-central Italy have proven to be exceptional recorders of …

Faults in carbonates are well known sources of upper crustal seismicity throughout the
world. In the outer sector of the Northern Apennines, ancient carbonate-bearing thrusts are …

High-pressure X-ray diffraction was carried out on a single crystal of gypsum compressed in
a diamond anvil cell. The sample maintained its crystal structure up to 4.0±0.1 GPa. The fit of …

Unraveling the tectonic style in the outer zones of fold-and-thrust belts is generally puzzling
because the basement–cover relationships are often hidden in the subsurface as in the …

Carbonate-bearing normal faults are important structures for controlling fluid flow and
seismogenesis within the brittle upper crust. Numerous studies have tried to characterize …

In this paper we analyze the Jurassic and Cretaceous evolution of the buried northwards
stretch of the Apulia Platform (Southern Italy)(Ombrina-Rospo Plateau–ORP), and adjacent …
