A branch of this rifting system is now identified in the Sardinian Trough (Fossa Sarda in the Italian literature), a ~220 km-long, ~40 km-wide middle Oligocene-Aquitanian rift system cutting the island from north to south (Lecca et al, 1997;Faccenna et al, 2002;Cherchi et al, 2008;Fig. 1).…”

“…As a result, Sardinia, together with Corsica, separated from southern Europe and moved to its present position performing an approximately 23° counter-clockwise rotation (e.g., Cherchi and Montadert 1982;Thomas and Gennesseaux 1986;Faccenna et al 2002;Speranza et al 2002). The structural processes triggered the formation of a series of N-S-oriented halfgrabens (Porto Torres Basin, Logudoro Basin, Castelsardo Basin, and Perfugas Basin), which were Wlled with an Oligo-Miocene volcano-sedimentary succession (Figs.…”

The rhodolithic slope deposits of a Burdigalian carbonate platform in Sardinia near Sedini were analyzed to reconstruct facies and palaeobathymetry. There is a distinct red-algal growth zonation along the platform slope. The clinoform rollover area consists of coralline-algal bindstones, which downslope change into a zone where rhodoliths are locally fused by progressive encrustation. Mid-slope rhodoliths are moderately branched, and downslope rhodoliths have fruticose protuberances, resulting in branching rhodolith growth patterns. There is a sharp change from the rhodolitic rudstones to the basinal, bivalve-dominated rudstones at the clinoform bottomsets. Red-algal genera identiWed include Sporolithon, Lithophyllum, Spongites, Hydrolithon, Mesophyllum, Lithoporella, Neogoniolithon, and other mastophoroids and melobesioids. Genera and subfamilies show a zonation along the clinoforms, allowing palaeobathymetric estimates. The clinoform rollovers formed at a water depth of around 40 m and the bottomsets around 60 m. Results from geometrical reconstruction show that coral reefs in the inner platform formed at water depths of around 20 m. Therefore, the Sedini carbonate platform is an example of a reef-bearing platform in which the edge or the platform-interior reefs do not build up to sea level.

“…During the Cenozoic, the major tectonic deformation within the CorsicaeSardinia continental block was related to the Pyrenean-Alpine orogeny with a climax occurring during the Late Eocene (DurandDelga, 1986;Egal, 1992;Marroni and Pandolfi, 2003;Lacombe and Jollivet, 2005). Oligocene to recent deformation in the western Mediterranean domain is then dominated by rifting and extension Montadert, 1982, 1984;Sowerbutts and Underhill, 1998;Casula et al, 2001;Faccenna et al, 2002;Cherchi et al, 2008;Oggiano et al, 2009).…”

“…It opened by continental rifting and oceanic spreading induced by the eastward migration of the Apennine subduction system from Tortonian to Pliocene times (Moussat et al, 1986;Faccenna et al, 2002;Rosenbaum and Lister, 2004). This study takes place within the framework of the development of the METYSS (Messinian Event in the Tyrrhenian from Seismic Study) project.…”
