Abstract: | The Belluno Syncline, resting in the footwall of the Belluno Thrust, is located in the Venetian fold and thrust belt, in the Italian Southern Alps. This SSE-vergent mountain chain developed mainly during the Neogene as a back-thrust belt of the Alps in response to deformati on of the northern margin of the Adria pi ate. The Belluno syncline is asymmetòc in shape, with a steep backlimb, as the forelimb of the paired Monte Coppo lo Anticline, and results from fault-propagation folding during the development of the underlying Belluno thrust. In plan view, the Belluno thrust shows a prominent curvature interpreted as reactivation of inherited Mesozoic extensional structures. The hinge of the Belluno syncline presents a similar curvature. Rocks outcropping in the syncline core are Upper Chattian to Langhian fine-grained molassic sediments, mainly siltstones and marls. [...] |
