“…4): The mean direction for the Cretaceous rocks from the Gargano foreland block implies a post-Oligocene 31" counter-clockwise rotation (Channel1 and Tarling, 1976;Channell, 1977;Channel1 et al, 1979;Van den Berg, 1983). Our new data reveal that no rotation has occurred in the Gargano and Salentino areas in the Pleistocene interval @cheepers, 1992).…”

Recently, new data have been presented which imply that major block rotations took place in the Central Mediterranean during the Pleistocene, between 1.0 and 0.7 Ma. Kinematic solutions for the spatial and temporal distribution of rotational data in the Central Mediterranean such as oroclinal bending of the Calabrian Arc and rotation of the Adria Plate are being discussed. Phases of neotectonic rotations appear to be confined to distinct phases of contractions and compressive interplate stress. We present a model in which the middle Pleistocene rotations are caused by a distribution of deformation in the Central Mediterranean through strike-slip motions along a number of major shear zones which define a free boundary between the African and the Adria Plates. One of the main features is the Trans-Mediterranean Mobile Zone, which separates areas with opposite rotations. The timing of the rotations is compared to the evolution of volcanism, basin development, subsidence and uplift patterns, contractional tectonics and seismicity patterns. From this comparison we hypothesize that the Late Pliocene-Recent geodynamic evolution of the Central Mediterranean comprises the following three episodes: (1) A Late Pliocene arc migration episode shows drifting of the Calabrian block and spreading of the back-arc basin without the associated oroclinal rotations that were previously assumed in literature. (2) An Early Pleistocene contraction episode shows a gradual increase of compressive interplate stress, and culminates in a middle Pleistocene "stress release phase" which is associated with block rotations, transpressional tectonics and a rupturing of the subducted slab. (3) A Late Pleistocene-Recent restabilisation episode is characterized by rapid isostatic adjustments, with extensional collapse of the Apennine thrust-wedge and the Tyrrhenian back-arc area related to rebound of non-detached lithosphere remnants and sinking into the mantle of the detached slab.

“…Paleomagnetic investigations revealed the following (Table 1): The Gargano area rotated 30" counterclockwise since the Early Tertiary (Channell and Tarling, 1976;Channell, 1977;Van den Berg, 1983). It has been stated that the Salentino area possibly shows a clockwise rotation of 25" since the Eo-Oligocene .…”

“…Concerning the main issue of the 1980', to test Argand's model of African promontory (Argand, 1924), the pioneering studies were of limited value, partly because of contradictory results from Gargano (Channell, 1977, VandenBerg, 1983) partly due to poor statistical parameters of some data from the weakly magnetized platform carbonates from Istria (Márton and Veljović, 1983).…”

“…The targets of the pioneering paleomagnetic studies were the Mesozoic rocks in the Adriatic "autochthon", like Gargano (Channell, 1977, VandenBerg, 1983) and stable Istria (Márton and Veljović, 1983), in the fold and thrust belts surrounding the "authochton", like the Southern Alps (e.g. VandenBerg and Wonders, 1980), the Umbrian Apennines (e.g.…”

Apparent polar wander path for Adria extended by new Jurassic paleomagnetic results from its stable core: Tectonic implications

et al. 2017

As a continuation of a systematic paleomagnetic research in the northern part of stable Adria, which provided a well-defined apparent polar wander (APW) path for the CretaceousEocene, we present new paleomagnetic results for the Jurassic. These new data were obtained from 15 geographically distributed localities from the Trento platform (eastern Southern Alps) using standard paleomagnetic approach. The Lower Jurassic shallow water carbonates are not considered for tectonic interpretation, due to inconsistent inclinations.
