“…For the Ustica 549 volcanic complex, the magnetic signature is subdivided into intense minima on the 550 southeastern side and maxima on the northern half (Figure 4a). In the absence of evidence of 551 widespread thermal demagnetization, we posit that the southeastern side may have been 552 emplaced during a reversed polarity chron before the Matuyama chron when the outcropping 553 subaerial basalts were extruded (Savelli, 2001(Savelli, , 2002 and references therein). However, this hypothesis is very equivocal because paleomagnetic data on these rocks are 574 lacking.…”

As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. The complex magnetic and gravity anomaly fields of the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea provide 11 a record of the complicated properties and evolution of the underlying crust. Geologic 12 interpretation of these anomalies is hindered by the effects of anomaly superposition and 13 source ambiguity inherent to potential field analysis. A common approach to minimizing 14 interpretational ambiguities is to consider analyses of anomaly correlations. Spectral

“…This escarpment has long been recognized to be a major tectonic Piromallo & Morelli (2003), whereas the field of low Pn velocity of the uppermost mantle underneath Calabria is from Mele et al (1998). The area of He isotopes anomaly in western Sicily is from Caracausi et al (2005) and magmatism is from Argnani & Savelli (2001) and Savelli (2002).…”

The evolution of the southern Tyrrhenian subduction has been possibly controlled by distinct episodes of slab break-off as indicated by a critical review of the geological literature and by the analysis of purposely acquired multichannel seismic profiles. Within the proposed interpretation the first episode occurred from 8.5 to 4.0 Ma and affected the segment of the slab located in the Sardinia Channel, causing the abandonment of the Adventure thrust front in western Sicily. The second episode occurred between 2.5 and 1.6 Ma, affecting the segment of slab located north of Sicily, and was preceeded by rifting in the Strait of Sicily. The space and time location of these episodes appear controlled by discontinuities pre-existing within the subducted African plate that trend at high angle to the advancing subduction front. These discontinuities delimit segment of subducted slab that can be affected by slab break-off and can act as wayouts for magma and mantle derived He. The major of these discontinuities, the Malta Escarpment, has been reactivated in the Quaternary as a trench-perpendicular tear (STEP faults). Ultimately, the hierarchy in strength of these trench-perpendicular features could have affected the timing and amount of trench retreat and backarc opening.

“…These volcanic suites are geochemically and isotopically akin to OIB [e.g., Cinque et al, 1988;Civetta et al, 1998;Beccaluva et al, 1998Beccaluva et al, , 2002Gasperini et al, 2002;Trua et al, 2003]. Calc-alkaline volcanic activity is represented by the Aeolian arc and other Tyrrhenian seamounts [e.g., Francalanci et al, 1993;Savelli, 2002]. The magmatism of the Neapolitan volcanoes (Campi Flegrei, Ischia, Procida, Vesuvius) has been also genetically related to the subduction process [e.g., Beccaluva et al, 1991;Tonarini et al, 2004].…”
