RELAZIONI TRA IL BACINO BALEARICO, IL TIRRENO SETTENTRIONALE E L'EVOLUZIONE NEOGENICA DELL'APPENNINO SETTENTRIONALE

Abstract

An Oligocene and Neogene evolutive scheme for the area comprised between the Balearic Basin and the North­ern Apennines is proposed. In northeastern Corsica, thrust­ing of ophiolitic and continental units over the hercynian basement of the Corsica-Sardinia Massif is recognized until Oligocene. In Corsica and Sardinia, the hercynian basement is affected by an important left-lateral strike-slip fault sys­tem involving Oligocene conglomerate and breccia. [...]
