SEDIMENTARY AND TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF SELECTED NEOGENE-QUATERNARY BASINS OF THE APENNINES (ITALY)

Field guidebook, 32nd International Geological Congress 2004, Florence, Italy

 Sagri, M., Martini, I.P. and Pascucci, V. (eds.)

The objectives of this field trip are to analyze the sedimentary fills and the structural features of typical post-orogenic Neogene-Quaternary basins of the northern and central Apennines. The basins have been chosen because of their good exposures and the availability of seismic reflection profiles, allowing integration of field and subsurface data to better define their architecture and evolution.

The selected areas are: (1) southwestern Tuscany in the northern Apennines, where extension, possibly punctuated by compression and transpression, has occurred since the late Miocene, and (2) Latium and Abruzzo in the central Apennines where extension and transtension have occurred since the late Pliocene.
