The Liguride Complex of Southern Italy —a Cretaceous to Paleogene accretionary wedge

Trace element distribution and Cr(VI) speciation in Ca-HCO3 and Mg-HCO3 spring waters from the northern sector of the Pollino massif, southern Italy

“…The deformation occurred between the Oligocene and the Pleistocene, and involved the Ligurian ocean ophiolitic crust and its sedimentary cover (Cavalcante et al, 2009;Knott, 1987;Monaco and Tortorici, 1995).…”

Relationships between Lithospheric Flexure, Thrust Tectonics and Stratigraphic Sequences in Foreland Setting: the Southern Apennines Foreland Basin System, Italy

“…11,12), considered to be the basement and cover, respectively, of the former Iberian/ Europe margin of Neotethys (e.g. Ogniben, 1969Ogniben, , 1973Bouillin, 1984;Bouillin et al, 1986;Knott, 1987Knott, , 1988Dietrich, 1988;Dewey et al, 1989;Thomson, 1998). Thomson (1998), with fission track studies, demonstrates that the emplacement of continental basement rocks with Alpine metamorphism over ophiolitic rocks is constrained as a thrust contact of lower-to-middle Miocene age (<23 Ma), and the other major thrust contact of the diverse alpine basement units may be <18 Ma (Fig.…”

Natural hazards vs human impact: an integrated methodological approach in geomorphological risk assessment on the Tursi historical site, Southern Italy

“…The substratum of the Plio-Pleistocene Sant'Arcangelo deposits is represented by tectonostratigraphic units derived from the deformation of distinct pre-Miocene paleogeographic domains (Fig. 2), which have been amassing since the Oligo-Miocene age and are still moving (Ogniben 1969;D'Argenio et al 1973;Knott 1987). Two main sectors (Fig.…”
