IL SEGMENTO SICANO DELLA CATENA SUD-TIRRENICA: BACINI NEOGENICI E DEFORMAZIONE ATTIVA

Abstract

The thrust propagation in the Sicani Mountains (western Sicily) and the late Neogene evolution of the related satellite basins are illustrated by three regional profiles constructed by number of new geologie cross-sections of minor scale. The ge­ologie profiles, based on both original outcrop data and pub­lished subsurface informations from wells and offshore seis­mics, have been constructed taking into account the general rules of cross-section balancing. The thrust propagati on events are dated mainly using the stratal pattern modifications ob­served in the syntectonic basin-fill. [...]
