The widely debated late Oligocene-middle Miocene Numidian Fm (NF) consists of
supermature quartzose sediments deposited in the Maghrebian Flysch Basin (MFB) …

The African affinity of the deformed Mesozoic continental margins surrounding the Adriatic
Sea (a region known as Adria) was recognized in the 1920s. However, over the last several …

Abstract The Apennines-Sicilian-Maghrebian fold-and-thrust belt originated from the
subduction of the Alpine Tethys and the later collision of drifted continental blocks against …

Temperature-dependent clay mineral assemblages, vitrinite reflectance, and one-
dimensional (1-D) thermal and three-dimensional (3-D) geological modeling of a Neogene …

A detailed lithostratigraphy and facies analysis of a type section of the Tufiti di Tusa
Formation, including deep-marine clastic successions with syn-orogenic volcanic detritus …

Abstract The Monte San Nicola area (Southern Sicily) offers a spectacular exposure of open-
marine sediments that were employed in 1998 for defining the Global Stratotype Section and …

The large expanses of lava field and soils spread out around Mt. Etna volcano (Italy), make
unique the landscape of the whole area. In this work, we investigated a sample set of a …

Understanding ancient deep‐water sedimentary systems that accumulated at complex plate
boundaries requires confronting the stratigraphic record of deformed sedimentary …

Abstract The Numidian Sandstones are widespread throughout the western Mediterranean,
from Spain and North Africa to southern Italy. They consist of intercalations of thick ultra …

Structural evolution of thrust wedges is influenced by syn-kinematic deposition ahead and
upon them. It dampens uplift of synclines and promotes amplification of anticlines. High …
