“…C; Supplementary Information S1, Fig. S2B) of the low Sr and Ba glass fragments with negative Eu anomaly are similar to those of the S10 level and in turn to X‐6, while the glass fragments without Eu anomaly, and with higher Ba and Sr concentrations can undoubtedly be correlated to the X‐5 marker (105.18 ± 0.54 ka; Petrosino et al ., ), as originally suggested by Munno and Petrosino (). Their trace element patterns resemble that of the TF‐12 tephra layer from the Fucino basin (Fig.…”

“…150 ka at Roccamonfina (Rouchon et al ., ) and Campania products from uncertain sources, older that 90 ka, are recorded on‐land as widespread deeply altered ignimbrite deposits (Rolandi et al ., ; Belkin et al ., ). The Campania tephra marker record, on the other hand, is very rich, as testified by the finding of distal tephra layers with a chemical composition typical of Campania products both in lacustrine (Monticchio Lakes: Wulf et al ., , ; SGM: Munno and Petrosino, ; Ascione et al ., ) and marine (Tyrrhenian Sea: Paterne et al ., 1986, ; Morabito et al ., ; Petrosino et al ., ; Ionian Sea: Keller et al ., ; Insinga et al ., ; Adriatic Sea: Siani et al ., ; Bourne et al ., , ) sedimentary sequences.…”

“…Two main Campania marker tephras slightly older than 100 ka have been found in the whole Mediterranean area, both in marine and lacustrine sequences and in terrestrial outcrops (Giaccio et al ., and references therein): X‐5, dated to ca. 105 ka (Petrosino et al ., ), and X‐6, ca. 109 ka (Iorio et al ., ), although their terrestrial counterpart remains unknown.…”

“…Characterization of the major element composition of tephra layers is typically performed by analyzing pumices and glass shards through electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) (e.g. Giaccio et al ., , ; Petrosino et al ., , , ). Trace element contents measurement by laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) is increasingly becoming another common diagnostic tool for characterizing tephra layers (e.g.…”

“…Tephra layer comparison data are taken from: Giaccio et al (2017), layers TF-17, TF-13, TF-12, TF-10 from Fucino sequence, POP1 from Popoli sequence; D'Antonio et al (2016), the Y-5 isotopic composition from SIN-SAP 98 GCI01 and BAN89 09GC cores (eastern Mediterranean Sea). Layers 7 and 18 from the CET1 core (Central Tyrrhenian Sea -Morabito et alPetrosino et al, 2016) were analyzed for comparison in this work. The green bar in A, E and H points to the Sr isotopic composition of feldspar from S4, S16 and S21 for which the Nd isotopic composition has not been determined [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com].…”

Central–southern Italy is one of the most suitable areas in the world for tephrostratigraphic studies, owing to the numerous volcanic sources with explosive activity during the Pleistocene. This work presents a systematic investigation of the chemical (trace elements) and isotopic (Sr and Nd) compositions of the main tephra markers within lacustrine sediments of the San Gregorio Magno Basin (Campania, southern Italy). This study: (i) provides full geochemical (trace elements and isotopes) characterization of eight significant Upper Pleistocene marker layers (X‐6, X‐5, C‐22, MEGT/Y‐7, CI/Y‐5, C‐10, Y‐3, NYT/C2) widely dispersed over the Mediterranean area; (ii) proposes a new tephra marker for Marine Isotope Stage 7, dated to 240 ka; and (iii) refines the correlations of tephra levels belonging to the investigated sequence. This study highlights that in most cases the Nd isotope composition of the glass and Sr isotope composition of the coexisting minerals are more reliable than 87Sr/86Sr of the glass, and hence is more helpful as a further tool for tephrostratigraphic correlations, as recently proposed in the literature. Moreover, this study is a first step towards the construction of a complete geochemical database for future tephra investigations in the Mediterranean area. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The present study focuses on the morphotectonic evolution of the axial portion of the Southern Apennine chain between the lower Calore River valley and the northern Camposauro mountain front (Campania Region). A multidisciplinary approach was used, including geomorphological, field‐geology, stratigraphical, morphotectonic, structural, 40Ar/39Ar and tephrostratigraphical data. Results indicate that, from the Lower Pleistocene onwards, this sector of the chain was affected by extensional tectonics responsible for the onset of the sedimentation of Quaternary fluvial, alluvial fan and slope deposits. Fault systems are mainly composed of NW‐SE, NE–SW and W‐E trending strike‐slip and normal faults, associated to NW‐SE and NE–SW oriented extensions. Fault scarps, stratigraphical and structural data and morphotectonic indicators suggest that these faults affected the wide piedmont area of the northern Camposauro mountain front in the Lower Pleistocene–Upper Pleistocene time span. Faults affected both the oldest Quaternary slope deposits (Laiano Synthem, Lower Pleistocene) and the overlying alluvial fan system deposits constrained between the late Middle Pleistocene and the Holocene. The latter are geomorphologically and chrono‐stratigraphically grouped into four generations, I generation: late Middle Pleistocene–early Upper Pleistocene, with tephra layers 40Ar/39Ar dated to 158±6 and 113±7 ka; II generation: Upper Pleistocene, with tephra layers correlated with the Campanian Ignimbrite (39 ka) and with the slightly older Campi Flegrei activity (40Ar/39Ar age 48±7 ka); III generation: late Upper Pleistocene–Lower Holocene, with tephra layers correlated with the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (~15 ka); IV generation: Holocene in age. The evolution of the first three generations was controlled by Middle Pleistocene extensional tectonics, while Holocene fans do not show evidence of tectonic activity. Nevertheless, considering the moderate to high magnitude historical seismicity of the study area, we cannot rule out that some of the recognized faults may still be active.
