Le Miocène du bassin de Saint-Florent(Corse): Modalités de la transgression du Burdigalien supérieur et mise en évidence du Serravallien

Pressure–temperature–deformation–time of the ductile Alpine shearing in Corsica: From orogenic construction to collapse

“…The early Miocene ductile extension and the continuous transition to brittle extensional faulting documented in this study reinforce the significance of the early Miocene rapid exhumation event already detected in the Alpine Corsica region (Cavazza et al, 2001;Fellin et al, 2005;Zarki-Jakni et al, 2004). In this view, conclusive evidence is provided to assert that deposition of the early Miocene (Burdigalian-Langhian) Saint Florent basin (Cavazza et al, 2007;Ferrandini et al, 1998) on top of the exhuming HP units (Fig. 3) occurred during the activity of the ETSZ as an extensional shear zone (Daniel et al, 1996;Gueydan et al, 2003;Jolivet et al, 1998).…”

Structure and evolution of a passive margin in a compressive environment: Example of the south-western Alps–Ligurian basin junction during the Cenozoic

“…We propose that they may be coeval with of the post-rift transgressive late Aquitanian to Burdigalian deposits known westward in the Gulf of Lions (e.g. Gorini et al, 1993;Guennoc et al, 2000;Mauffret et al, 1982), in Provence (Oudet, 2008) or on the Corsican conjugate margin (Ferrandini et al, 1998(Ferrandini et al, , 2003.…”

Orogenic processes and the Corsica/Apennines geodynamic evolution: insights from Taiwan

“…The uppermost nappes and their contacts with the underlying units are locally unconformably sealed by lower Miocene ''post-orogenic'' continental or marine sediments of the Francardo, St. Florent and Aleria basins (Dallan and Puccinelli 1995;Ferrandini et al 1998). Bézert and Caby 1988;Brunet et al 2000;Chopin et al 2008;Dal Piaz and Zirpoli, 1979;Danisik et al 2007;Fournier et al, 1991;Lahondère and Guerrot 1997;Lahondére 1996;Tribuzio and Giacomini 2002;Molli 2008;Vitale Brovarone et al 2009), Southern Tuscany and Alpi Apuane (based on Kligfield et al 1986;Fellin et al 2007;Giorgetti et al 1998;Jolivet et al 1998;Molli et al 2000;Rossetti et al 2002;Theye et al 1997) Corsican-derived continental units and continental slices from the former OCT show a variable high-pressure/lowtemperature metamorphic imprint.…”
