“…The Roccamonfina Volcano is made up of lavas and pyroclastic rocks erupted in three main phases of activity (Fig. 56;De Rita & Giordano 1996;De Rita et al, 1998;Rouchon et al, 2008), which started at about 590 ka (Ballini et al, 1989a). The first phase (stratocone building phase -Roccamonfina synthem) was dominated by emplacement of leucite-bearing lavas interbedded with deposits of mild explosive eruptions both from the central volcano and from parasitic monogenetic centres (Figs 55, 56).…”

“…57), made of olivine, clinopyroxene, leucite, plagioclase, Ba-phlogopite, apatite, Ti-magnetite, and minor amphibole, with sanidine and rare sodalite as accessory phase. A lateral sector collapse (Rio Rava ignimbrite) of the stratocone at 440 ka formed a large horse-shoe shaped depression open to the East (De Rita & Giordano, 1996;Rouchon et al, 2008), but leucite-bearing volcanic activity did not end and continued with the building up of a new stratocone, which almost completely covered the old volcano-tectonic depression (Di De Rita & Giordano, 1996;Giannetti, 2001). …”

Abstract:The Molise Apennines feature numerous relicts of paleosurfaces, mostly of erosional origin, which represent the remnants of gently-rolling ancient landscapes now hanging at different altitudes above the local base-levels of erosion. Their genesis can be related to prolonged periods of relative tectonic stability alternating with periods of uplift, or to the interplay between steady tectonic uplift and climatic fluctuations. Four orders of paleosurfaces were recognized: I ( > 1,100 m a.s.l.), II (900-1,000 m a.s.l.), III (750-850 m a.s.l.), IV (600-720 m a.s.l.). The most ancient orders (I and II) are cut into the bedrock and are located at the top of the Matese and Montagnola di Frosolone massifs. The youngest paleosurfaces (III-IV), partially cut into Quaternary deposits, are found along the valley flanks of the main river systems and within the Boiano, Carpino, Isernia and Sessano intramontane basins. The present study deals with the dating of the Sessano Basin Paleosurface (SBP) which is related to the IV order and is cut into the basin infill. The 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age of a tephra layer (437 ± 1.9 ka), intercalated at the top of the succession, supported by archaeo-stratigraphic, palynological and paleopedological data, allowed the SBP surface to be constrained to 350-300 ka. The SBP chronological position represents an important morphostratigraphic marker: it is the first ante quem and post quem date that allows the chronological position of the other orders of paleosurfaces to be better constrained.

The current setting of most Tyrrhenian coastal plains in central‐southern Italy is the result of the interaction between sedimentary inputs, tectonic movements, and sea level changes during the Quaternary. Based on a comprehensive review of data from the literature on the stratigraphic setting of the coastal plains of Volturno and Garigliano Rivers, and with the final output being a validated 3D geological model, this study provides new elements for improved definition of the chronological intervals of fault activity. Specifically, the ages of tectonic deformations and/or subsidence are crucial for future estimates of coastal hazards induced by both seismicity and coastal inundations. Our multidisciplinary approach includes (i) definition of the Late Quaternary sedimentary architecture by revision of a large amount of core data, (ii) acquisition of offshore seismic reflection data and their correlation with sedimentary bodies of the coastal plains, and (iii) structural analysis of the main faults. These investigations were conducted on the marine segment offshore Mount Massico and on contiguous portions of the Volturno and Garigliano alluvial–coastal plains. The acquisition of seismic and core data enabled the definition of the sedimentary architecture of the coastal sectors of the plains. The Mt. Massico ridge (northern Campania), comprising Mesozoic–Cenozoic units of the orogenic chain and morphologically separating the two plains, was the subject of mesostructural analysis of fault orientation and kinematics. The seismic lines were calibrated correctly using two close stratigraphic core logs from the Garigliano Plain. The identification of correlatable and/or coeval stratigraphic/seismic units reveals land–sea correlations. These units are clearly affected by recent faulting expressed by complex deformation patterns, such as flower structures and strike‐slip faults.
