Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of a basin generated by transpression: the case of the Early Pliocene Lascari Basin (northern Sicily)
2011
Integrated stratigraphy and structural analysis carried out in the Madonie Mts. (Northern Sicily) is aimed to the description of a syn-sedimentary tectonic event, recorded in a small infra-pliocene basin restricted to the Lascari Syncline core. The onset and evolution of the basin was driven by transpressive tectonics, generating a lens-shaped, deep and narrow tectonic depression, bounded by steep and high, tectonically controlled slopes, also reflected in the present-day topography of the area. During the genesis of the basin, the tectonic control interferes with a dramatic sea level oscillation during the Messinian-Early Pliocene time interval. In this paper, the syn-tectonic deposits of …

Foreland Basin System tettono-sedimentary evolution along the Sicilian Fold and Thrust Belt
Syn-sedimentary tectonics during early Pliocene time in the northern Madonie Mountains (Sicily

Tettonica sinsedimentaria del Pliocene inferiore nei Monti delle Madonie settentrionali (Sicilia). L'analisi stratigrafico-strutturale condotta in un piccolo bacino infra-pliocenico nelle Madonie settentrionali (Lascari-Capo Plaja) permette di descrivere un evento tettonico sin-sedimentario. La sinclinale EW in cui si sviluppa il bacino sintettonico appartiene ad un sistema di pieghe nord vergenti che deformano un piano di sovrascorrimento più antico (Langhiano-Serravalliano). La geometria di crescita che caratterizza il pattern stratale dei depositi pliocenici e la discordanza angolare alla base suggeriscono che la nucleazione di queste strutture compressionali si possa essere realizzata a…

A description of the stratigraphic setting and tectonic evolution of the Late Neogene Ciminna basin (Northern Sicily)
Deep controls on Foreland Basin System evolution along the Sicily Thrust Belt
2014
The palinspastic restoration of the Sicilian crustal geological cross section (Catalano et al., 2013) points out two subsequent main thrust (MT1 and MT2) active during the Neogene tectonic evolution as well as the decrease of slip and shortening rate estimated for MT2 with respect to MT1 early main thrust. During orogenic building, syn-tectonic deposits are accumulated inside wedge-top-basin that grow on top of thrust sheets. Sedimentary and stratigraphic features of wedge-top basin change trough time following fold and thrust belt evolution. Neogene-Quaternary syn- tectonic successions (terrigenous, evaporitic, hemipelagic and shallow water deposits) extensively crop-out, in more or less w…
