Evolutionary Models of the Cenozoic Basins of Central-Western Mediterranean Area: A Review of Methodological Approaches

Abstract: In the last 40 years, several models based on very different methodological approaches have been proposed to interpret the complex geodynamic evolution of the central-western Mediterranean area and, in particular, of the Cenozoic basins. The persistence of numerous interpretations and still-open problems resulted in the proliferation of very different models. The reconstructions presented are highly influenced by difficulties often encountered in considering constraints introduced by models built by means of c… Show more

“…Five main unconformities to which different biostratigraphic gaps associate have been detected The proposed stratigraphic architecture clearly indicates a non tabular sedimentation with marked lateral changes as suggested by lateral variation of the: lithofacies, thicknesses, and diachronous stratigraphic boundaries. According to regional data [8][9][10][11][12]80], after the Cretaceous a paleogeographic reorganization of the external basins of the African Margin took place as a consequence of the beginning of the tectonic inversion (from extensional to compressional) between Europe and Africa plates. In short, this structuring is related to the neo-Alpine phase (Pyrenean of [81]) as response to the beginning of the Africa/Europe convergence during the Eocene and Oligocene.…”

“…In addition, across the Eocene-Oligocene boundary, the occurrence of the well-known sea level fall in the entire globe due to a climatic cooling caused a generalized regression everywhere. The beginning of convergence (prenappe tectonics) is characterized by differential basement uplift that generated mild folds (also reflected on surface) and initiated blind thrusts leading to the end of the preorogenic sedimentation in the central-western Mediterranean area [80,[82][83][84]. The beginning of the large and growing volumes of reworked terrigeneous supply (turbidites, slumps, olistostromes, etc.)…”

“…They were temporarily connected, and also had periodical communication with other marine areas (Figure 1) (e.g., [2,3,[21][22][23][24][25][26] and references therein). Due to the intense tectonic activity in the wider region (Figure 2) (e.g., [27][28][29][30][31]) and sea-level fluctuations, the Central and Eastern Paratethys had a complex geological history, leading to a variety of problems in the stratigraphic correlation of these two sub-basins, and particularly, their correlation with the Proto-Mediterranean Sea, Northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Indopacific (e.g., [4,21,22,25,26,[32][33][34] and references in the papers). Here, we focus on the Miocene stratigraphy of the southwestern margin of the Central Paratethys, i.e., the North Croatian Pannonian Basin (NCPB).…”
