Permian-Cenozoic deep-water carbonate rocks of the Southern Tethyan Domain. The case of Central Sicily

Abstract: We present an integrated stratigraphy of the outcropping and buried Permian-Cenozoic deepwater carbonate successions, forming some of the tectonic units mostly buried beneath the Late Neogene sedimentary cover in the fold and thrust belt of Central Sicily.

“…Permian marine basins are found along most of the margins of the eastern Mediterranean Guiraud et al, 2005;Stampfli et al, 2001), for example, in northern Syria (Palmyra through; e.g., Garfunkel, 1998), southern Tunisia (Jeffara Basin, synthesis in Mejri et al, 2006), western central Sicily (Sicanian and Imerese successions; Basilone, Frixa, et al, 2016;Catalano et al, 1991), and eastern Crete (Robertson, 2006). The interpretation of these basins either as remnants of oceanic pelagic sequences or as rift basins preceding oceanic spreading provides the main argument for geodynamic scenarios favoring an Early to Middle Permian age (Figure 2; e.g., Ben-Avraham & Ginzburg, 1990;Catalano et al, 1991;Vai, 2003) or Late Permian to Early Triassic age for the East Mediterranean Basins (Stampfli et al, 1991(Stampfli et al, , 2001Stampfli & Borel, 2002).…”

“…In all these cases, megaclasts are considered in fact. Some regions like Sicily in Italy [28,[95][96][97][98][99] are well-known for large clast occurrence. Special attention should be paid to them in order to document these particles and to distinguish true megaclasts from boulders.…”

“…NW Sicily is a part of the Sicilian Fold and Thrust Belt (FTB), a segment of the Alpine collisional belt, described as the result of both post-collisional convergence between Africa and Europe and roll-back of the subduction hinge of the Ionian lithosphere ( Figure 1; Catalano, Valenti, et al, 2013). The rocks forming the NW Sicily FTB are made up of Meso-Cenozoic shallow-and deep-water carbonates pertaining to the deformed paleogeographic units of the Southern Tethyan margin (Basilone, Frixa, Trincianti, & Valenti, 2016;Basilone, Lena, & Gasparo Morticelli, 2014;Catalano, Basilone, et al, 2013) and tertiary clastic deposits including the deformed foredeep units (e.g. Numidian flysch) and the filling deposits of the wedge-top basins (Gasparo Morticelli et al, 2015;Gugliotta et al, 2014).…”
