Chemical analyses of garnet-bearing metasediments and EMP and U/Pb analyses of detrital zircons of the Lula paragneisses in the Axial Zone of the Variscan belt (NE Sardinia) give significant contribution to the reconstruction of the early Paleozoic evolution of the northern Gondwana margin. The youngest middle Ordovician (465 Ma) age of detrital zircons indicate a derivation from a fore- arc sedimentary basin along an early Paleozoic convergent margin, which collected sediments from nearby emerged lands consisting of early Paleozoic volcanic arcs and pre-Paleozoic sequences. The chemical composition of metasediments is characterized by negative Sr anomaly and depletion in heavy rare earth elements (HREE) and Y as compared to the upper crust. Normalized to chondrite values, the paragneiss shows a steep REE pattern with light-REE enrichment, negative Eu anomaly and flat heavy-REE pattern. All these features suggest a derivation form older active continental margins or island arcs. Detrital zircon ages cover a very large time span (3151 + 97 Ma to 465 + 8 Ma) and reveal a complex history of inheritance and recycling. The oldest ages obtained on relic cores and/or magmatic stages, mostly enriched in Hf (Zr / Hf ratios: 45-24) and devoid of Y, indicate a contribution from granitoid rocks of mainly crustal origin. The ages of detrital zircons highlight a derivation of the sedimentary supply from the Sahara craton and/or the Arabian-Numidian shield along the northeastern margin of Gondwana. This fit well with derivation of early Paleozoic metasedimentary formations in southern Sardinia and northern Apennine, pointing out a common origin and location of these sedimentary basins along the northern margin of Gondwana at the early Paleozoic. As regards the Variscan orogeny, the common middle Ordovician age of Lula paragneiss and nearby Lode orthogneiss highlight the role of Variscan tectonics in the assembly of different blocks of early-middle Paleozoic margin.
对Variscan带(NE Sardinia)中轴带Lula paragneisses碎屑锆石的EMP和U/Pb分析,对重建冈瓦纳北缘早古生代演化具有重要意义。最年轻的中奥陶统(465 Ma)碎屑锆石年龄表明其来源于一个沿早古生代辐合边缘的弧前沉积盆地,该盆地收集了附近由早古生代火山弧和前古生代层序组成的出陆。与上地壳相比,沉积物的化学组成具有Sr负异常和重稀土元素(HREE)和Y亏缺的特征。与球粒陨石值归一化后,副辉岩呈现出轻稀土富集、负Eu异常和扁平重稀土模式的陡稀土模式。所有这些特征都表明它起源于更古老的活动大陆边缘或岛弧。碎屑锆石年龄跨度非常大(3151 + 97 Ma ~ 465 + 8 Ma),具有复杂的继承和再循环历史。在岩心和(或)岩浆阶段获得的最古老年龄,主要是富Hf (Zr / Hf比值:45-24)和缺乏Y,表明主要来自地壳起源的花岗岩类岩石。碎屑锆石的年龄强调了来自撒哈拉克拉通和/或冈瓦纳东北缘阿拉伯-努米迪亚盾的沉积供应来源。这与撒丁岛南部和亚平宁岛北部早古生代变质沉积地层的推导相吻合,指出了早古生代冈瓦纳北缘沉积盆地的共同起源和位置。在Variscan造山作用方面,Lula副长岩的共同中奥陶世和邻近的Lode正长岩突出了Variscan构造在早中古生代边缘不同块体组合中的作用。

Through the seismo-stratigraphic analysis of new high- resolution seismic data acquired along the southwestern offshore of the Hyblean Plateau, this work aims to improve the knowledge about the stratigraphic and structural setting in the marine area connecting the Hyblean Plateau Foreland to the Gela-Catania Foredeep.Two main goals have motivated the acquisition of new seismic profiles along the southern coastline of Sicily, in the Marina di Ragusa offshore:(i) to obtain a better comprehension of the Cenozoic stratigraphic and structural setting of the area, with a particular attention to the characterization of the Pliocene-Holocene sedimentary deposits and their areal distribution;(ii) to identify, in the offshore area, the possible prolongation of the main structural lineaments outcropping in the hinterland (Scicli-Ragusa-Irminio Line), and verify the presence of structures, responsible for the tectonic activity affecting the area.Our model shows that an extensional fault system, characterized by a main NE-SW orientation, affects the highly deformed Oligo-Miocene, or older, substratum, originating structural highs and down-faulted sectors. These faults are inferred to record the early history of the Scicli Line and of the polyphase kinematic evolution of the N50° oriented regional fault systems.The Gessoso-Solfifera deposits (Messinian, Late Miocene) have been recognized in several sectors of the study area, showing a very peculiar seismic facies, and occupying deep erosional channels probably resting within down-faulted sectors. This feature is in good agreement with isolated onshore areas of the Hyblean Plateau (Licodia Eubea and south Vittoria villages) where the Gessoso-Solfifera deposits are associated to normal faults, thus documenting that Messinian evaporites are not restricted to compressive tectonic setting, such as the marginal sub-basins and the thrust top mini-basins of the Appennine-Maghrebian belt.A peculiar seismic facies has been associated to the Trubi Fm., unconformably lying upon the older succession.The undeformed seismic units, onlapping the older substratum, has been associated to the post-Trubi-Holocene deposits, arranged into seven seismic units that reflect the youngest depositional evolution of the nearby Catania-Gela Foredeep. These deposits, generally represented by plane-parallel seismic facies, are in turn separated by an unconformity highlighted by an onlap termination of the yougermost terms upon the older. In some cases they are interrupted by gas rising from the deeper succession that reaches, at times, also the seafloor.
通过对海勃兰高原西南近海新获得的高分辨率地震资料的地震地层学分析,这项工作旨在提高对连接Hyblen高原前缘和Gela Catania Foredeep的海洋区域的地层和结构背景的认识。两个主要目标推动了西西里岛南部海岸线新地震剖面的获取,在Marina di Ragusa近海:(i)更好地了解该地区的新生代地层和结构背景,特别注意上新世-全新世沉积矿床的特征及其区域分布;(ii)在近海地区,确定腹地(Scicli Ragusa-Irminio线)露出的主要结构线理的可能延长,并验证影响该地区的构造活动的结构的存在。我们的模型表明,以北东-西向为主的伸展断层系统影响了高度变形的渐新世-中新世或更老的下地层,产生了构造高点和下断层段。这些断层被推断为记录了Scicli线的早期历史和N50°定向区域断层系统的多相运动演化。Gessoso-Solfifera矿床(Messinian,晚中新世)已在研究区域的几个区域被识别,显示出非常独特的地震相,并占据可能位于下断层区域内的深层侵蚀通道。这一特征与Hyblen高原的孤立陆上区域(Licodia Eubea和南Vittoria村庄)非常一致,Gessoso-Solfifera矿床与正断层有关,因此记录了Messinian蒸发岩不局限于压缩构造环境,如阿平宁-马格里布带的边缘亚盆地和逆冲顶部小型盆地。一种特殊的地震相与特鲁比组有关,不整合地位于较老的层序上。未变形的地震单元覆盖在较老的下地层上,与特鲁比全新世后矿床有关,排列成七个地震单元,反映了附近Catania Gela Foredeep最年轻的沉积演化。这些矿床通常以平面平行地震相表示,反过来又被不整合分开,不整合突出显示为较老矿床上最优格期的上超终止。在某些情况下,它们会被从更深的层序上升的气体打断,有时还会到达海底。

Neogene volcanism in Elazig-Tunceli area (eastern Anatolia): geochronological and petrological constraints 东安纳托利亚埃拉济格-通切利地区新近纪火山作用:年代学和岩石学约束

The Elazig and Tunceli provinces in eastern Anatolia host a complex succession of Miocene-Pleistocene effusive and explosive volcanic rocks, divided into four distinct volcanic phases. The most abundant and widespread products are the calcalkaline Mazgirt volcanic rocks, characterized by wide Sr isotope variations (87Sr/86Sr ~0.7054-0.7077) and narrower 143Nd/144Nd (~0.51246-0.51260) and Pb isotopes (e.g., 206Pb/204Pb ~18.89-19.13). New 40Ar-39Ar ages indicate that Mazgirt volcanic activity occurred between ~16.3 and 15.1 Ma. The other three volcanic phases are represented by the Tunceli mildly alkaline basaltic lavas (~11.4-11.0 Ma), the Pliocene Karakocan (~4.1 Ma) and Pleistocene Elazig (~1.9-1.6 Ma) Na-alkali basaltic lavas with clear OIB-like geochemical signature.Mazgirt volcanics can be subdivided on the base of mode of emplacement into lava flows and lava domes units characterized by petrographic, chemical and isotopic differences: lava flows are calcalkaline, whereas lava domes mostly belong to a high-K calcalkaline series and are, on average, more LREE- and 87Sr-enriched. Lava domes are more porphyritic, with a phenocryst assemblage dominated by amphibole, whereas plagioclase and clinopyroxene are the most abundant phenocryst phases in lava flows, pointing out that evolution of dome magmas occurred in conditions of slightly higher pressure, favouring the crystallization of hydrous phases.The Karabakir Formation, previously reported as late Miocene- Pliocene, encloses Mazgirt volcanics and is capped by Tunceli basalts. These new age data constrain the Karabakir Formation emplacement from early to late Miocene.The evolution of this igneous activity mirrors the geodynamic framework of the region: the early-middle Miocene Mazgirt volcanics represent arc volcanism related to Eurasia-Arabia convergence. The late Miocene Tunceli basalts postdate the onset of post-collisional tectonics in Eastern Anatolia, whereas the Karakocan and Elazig volcanic rocks were emplaced after the initiation of strike-slip motion on the North Anatolian and East Anatolian Fault systems.
安纳托利亚东部的埃拉泽省和通塞利省有一系列复杂的中新世-更新世喷发火山岩,分为四个不同的火山阶段。最丰富和分布最广的产物是钙碱性Mazgirt火山岩,其特征是Sr同位素变化较宽(87Sr/86Sr~0.7054~0.7077),143Nd/144Nd同位素变化较小(~0.51246-0.51260)和Pb同位素变化较窄(例如206Pb/204Pb~18.89~19.13)。新的40Ar-39Ar年龄表明Mazgiret火山活动发生在约16.3~15.1Ma之间。其他三个火山相以Tunceli轻度碱性玄武岩熔岩(~11.4-11.0 Ma)、上新世卡拉科坎(~4.1 Ma)和更新世埃拉泽(~1.9-1.6 Ma)Na碱性玄武岩熔岩为代表,具有清晰的OIB样地球化学特征。Mazgirt火山岩可根据侵位模式细分为熔岩流和熔岩穹丘单元,其特征是岩相、化学和同位素差异:熔岩流为钙碱性,而熔岩穹丘大多属于高K钙碱性系列,平均而言,LREE和87Sr富集程度更高。熔岩圆顶更具斑状,斑晶组合以角闪石为主,而斜长石和斜辉石是熔岩流中最丰富的斑晶相,指出圆顶岩浆的演化发生在略高压力的条件下,有利于含水相的结晶。卡拉巴克尔组(Karabakir Formation),先前报道为中新世-上新世晚期,包围着Mazgirt火山岩,并被Tunceli玄武岩覆盖。这些新的年龄数据限制了卡拉巴克尔组从中新世早期到晚期的侵位。这种火成活动的演变反映了该地区的地球动力学框架:中新世中期早期的Mazgirt火山岩代表了与欧亚-阿拉伯会聚有关的弧火山活动。中新世晚期的Tunceli玄武岩晚于安纳托利亚东部碰撞后构造的开始,而Karakocan和Elazig火山岩则是在北安纳托利亚和东安纳托利亚断层系统的走滑运动开始后侵位的。

A multidisciplinary integrated approach for the study of heterogeneous rock masses is presented herein with the aim of providing a characterization of one of the widest flysch formations of northeastern Sicily. The Capo d'Orlando Flysch is indeed affected by a geotechnical heterogeneity arising from the alternation of sandstone banks and siltstone layers occurring in different proportions and showing peculiar features. This is the main responsible of the uneven mechanical strength offered by these different lithological compartments and deserves an in-depth study. To this purpose, an integrated sedimentological-geomechanical study is the focus of this research, which was initially carried out through rock mass surveys aimed at recognizing the different facies associations and their distribution along selected outcrops. Sedimentological logs were followed by rock mass geomechanical surveys for the assessment of the quality of the rock and its discontinuities. All these elements concurred in the definition of the Geological Strength Index, which is preparatory for the estimation of the main mechanical properties of the rock mass through the Hoek and Brown failure criterion. Results show that the lithological compartments occurring within flysch rock masses strongly condition their mechanical attitude. In fact, sandstone portions behave as massive/fractured rock mass characterized by specific geomechanical properties, which are lowered by the presence of siltstone layers. For this reason, the definition of the facies associations (F.A.) affecting the rock mass, along with their geomechanical characterization, is a useful integrated activity to avoid overestimating or underestimating the mechanical attitude of flysch rock masses, especially when engineering geological works have to be designed.
本文提出了一种多学科综合方法来研究非均质岩体,目的是提供西西里岛东北部最宽的复理石群之一的特征。Capo d'Orlando Flysch确实受到地质非均质性的影响,这种非均质性是由砂岩滩和粉砂岩层以不同的比例交替产生的,并表现出特殊的特征。这是这些不同岩性隔室提供的不均匀机械强度的主要原因,值得深入研究。为此目的,综合沉积-地质力学研究是本研究的重点,该研究最初是通过岩体调查进行的,目的是识别不同的相组合及其沿选定露头的分布。在沉积学测井之后,进行了岩体地质力学调查,以评估岩石的质量及其不连续面。这些因素在地质强度指数的定义中是一致的,这为利用Hoek和Brown破坏准则估计岩体的主要力学特性做了准备。结果表明,复理石质岩体内的岩性隔室对其力学状态有很强的制约作用。事实上,砂岩部分表现为块状/裂隙岩体,具有特定的地质力学特性,而粉砂岩层的存在降低了这些特性。因此,确定影响岩体的相组合及其地质力学特征是一项有用的综合活动,可避免高估或低估复理岩体的力学性质,特别是在必须设计工程地质工程时。

Lampedusa Island represents a key-area due to its central position within the Sicily Channel and the whole Mediterranean region. The acquisition and interpretation of sixteen “sparker-system” seismic lines allowed a refined reconstruction of the sedimentary architecture of the Lampedusa continental shelf and the detailed timing of its tectonic evolution, providing a contribution to the geodynamic processes affecting this sector of the Sicily Channel.The offshore profiles show five seismic facies, which have been compared with the onshore succession. The older seismic unit (S1) was correlated with the pre-rift Cala Pisana Mb. of the Lampedusa Fm., separated by the overlain Capo Grecale Mb. (=S2) by an erosional surface, identified with the offshore TU (=Tortonian Unconformity) horizon, passing upward to the Vallone della Forbice Mb. (=S3) through a gradual, concordant boundary (Upper Tortonian Boundary=UTB). Capo Grecale and Vallone della Forbice Mbs., and thus the S2 and S3 units, represent the syn-rift deposits, recording the Late Miocene extensional tectonic activity. The effects of the strong erosional phase connected with the Mediterranean Salinity Crisis of Messinian age, are visible in all the seismic lines coinciding with a high impedance irregular surface (MH=Messinian Horizon), above which a further seismic unit (S4) develops. This latter, constituted by reflections onlapping the substratum, in the lower part, and prograding in the upper one, does not find an onshore correspondence, but has been attributed to the post-Messinian (Zanclean) transgression, followed by the subsequent regressive phase (Piacenzian-Gelasian). The uppermost seismic unit (S5), unconformably covering the older substratum, through the Early Pleistocene Unconformity (=EPU horizon) corresponds to the Pleistocene-Holocene onshore deposits. The seabed (top of S5) shows regular morphologies in the southern sector, while in the northern sector it is cut by erosive channels connected to strong streams on the bottom.From a structural point of view, the southern sector recorded an extensional tectonic phase, giving rise to normal faults involving units from S1 to S3, sutured by the MH and the overlain deposits. In the northern sector, the tectonic phase continued until the Pliocene, also involving the S4 unit.The reconstructed tectonic setting well fits the more general setting of the Sicily Channel Rift Zone, where main WNW-ESE faults were active during the Late Miocene and until the Pliocene age, generating small depositional areas, bounded by second-order NNW- SSE normal faults.
兰佩杜萨岛位于西西里海峡和整个地中海地区的中心位置,是一个关键地区。通过采集和解释16条“sparker系统”地震线,可以精细地重建兰佩杜萨大陆架的沉积结构及其构造演化的详细时间,为影响西西里海峡这一地区的地球动力学过程做出贡献。海上剖面显示了五个地震相,并与陆上序列进行了比较。较老的地震单元(S1)与裂谷前的Cala Pisana Mb相关。兰佩杜萨组,由上覆Capo Grecale Mb分隔。(=S2)被侵蚀面侵蚀,与近海TU(=Tortonian不整合面)层位一致,向上延伸至Vallone della Forbice Mb。(=S3)穿过一个渐变的、一致的边界(上托托尼亚边界=UTB)。Capo Grecale和Vallone della Forbice Mbs。,S2和S3单元代表同裂谷矿床,记录了中新世晚期的伸展构造活动。在与高阻抗不规则表面(MH=墨西尼亚地平线)重合的所有地震线上,都可以看到与墨西尼亚时代地中海盐度危机有关的强侵蚀相的影响,在该不规则表面之上形成了另一个地震单元(S4)。后者由下部覆盖下层的反射和上部的进积组成,没有发现陆上对应关系,但被归因于后梅西尼亚(赞clean)海侵,随后是随后的海退阶段(皮亚琴齐亚-盖拉西亚)。最上面的地震单元(S5)不整合地覆盖着较老的下地层,穿过早更新世不整合面(=EPU层位),对应于更新世全新世陆上沉积物。海床(S5顶部)在南部区域显示出规则的形态,而在北部区域,海床被与底部强流相连的侵蚀通道切割。从结构的角度来看,南部记录了一个伸展构造阶段,产生了涉及S1至S3单元的正断层,由MH和上覆矿床缝合。在北部,构造阶段一直持续到上新世,也涉及S4单元。重建的构造环境非常适合西西里海峡裂谷带的更为普遍的环境,在中新世晚期和上新世之前,那里的主要WNW-ESE断层一直很活跃,形成了以二阶NNW-SSE正断层为界的小沉积区。

Tectonic activity can affect every single segment of a sedimentary system and the various environments within a basin react in specific ways to tectonic forcing. However, the outcomes of tectonic activity on one environment have important consequences on the sedimentary processes in adjacent ones. In this paper, I evaluate the relationships between tectonic activity and sedimentary processes in several distinct environments, and in different times within the last sea- level cycle, in the submarine part of a single sedimentary system: the Capo d'Orlando Basin. The study area is located in the southeastern Tyrrhenian Sea along the northern Sicilian margin and is affected by active tectonics. A multibeam bathymetric coverage, chirp and regional sparker profiles are available over the study area. In the shelf, the Caronia Horst controls the thickness of the high stand systems tract and the character and the preservation potential of the coastal deposits of the transgressive systems tract. Coastal physiography, due to differential vertical movements, affects offshore current strength and pattern of sediment transport, causing the sand-mud line to move offshore. In the upper slope, tilting increases sediment instability and the accumulation of landslide deposits. Uplift, responsible for the local shallower depth of the shelf edge, favoured the connection between canyon heads and river mouths during the last sea-level low stand. More importantly, some of the canyon heads are still close to the coast and can receive sediment from rivers or offshore currents even during the present-day high stand. The Naso and the Calava Channels have fault-controlled courses and an asymmetric profile, which controls the location of overbank flows, sediment failures and landslide deposition. In the basin plain, the continued activity of the major faults has created subtle topography and the turbidite lobes do not present a compensational stacking pattern but remain fixed in fault-controlled lows; differential compaction in the separate fault blocks also contribute to differences in turbidite thickness. Landslides are present at the base of the fault-controlled basin-bounding escarpments and punctuate the otherwise turbidite-dominated succession. The analysis of the Capo d'Orlando Basin illustrates the range of effects that tectonic structures have on sedimentary processes going from the continental shelf to the basin plain. More importantly, although in a qualitative way, this research shows how the tectonic influence on up-dip processes is also responsible for the nature of the depositional record in the deeper part of the basin.
构造活动可以影响沉积系统的每一个环节,盆地内的各种环境以特定的方式对构造作用力作出反应。然而,构造活动对一个环境的影响对相邻环境的沉积过程具有重要影响。在这篇论文中,我评估了在几个不同的环境中,在上一个海平面周期的不同时期,在单一沉积系统的海底部分,即Capo d‘Orlando盆地,构造活动和沉积过程之间的关系。研究区域位于西西里岛北部边缘的第勒尼安海东南部,受活动构造影响。研究区域内有多波束测深覆盖、线性调频和区域sparker剖面。在陆架中,Caronia Horst控制着高位体系域的厚度以及海侵体系域海岸沉积物的特征和保存潜力。由于不同的垂直运动,海岸地貌影响了近海洋流强度和沉积物输送模式,导致沙泥线向近海移动。在上斜坡,倾斜增加了沉积物的不稳定性和滑坡沉积物的堆积。隆起是陆架边缘局部较浅深度的原因,有利于在上一次海平面低水位期间峡谷顶部和河口之间的连接。更重要的是,一些峡谷头仍然靠近海岸,即使在今天的高地,也可以接收来自河流或离岸流的沉积物。纳索河和卡拉瓦河河道具有断层控制河道和不对称剖面,控制着河岸上水流、沉积物破坏和滑坡沉积的位置。在盆地平原,主要断层的持续活动创造了微妙的地形,浊积岩凸角不呈现补偿叠加模式,但仍固定在断层控制的低点;不同断块的差异压实也导致了浊积岩厚度的差异。滑坡出现在断层控制盆地的底部,边界为悬崖,并打断了以浊积岩为主的序列。对Capo d‘Orlando盆地的分析说明了构造结构对从大陆架到盆地平原的沉积过程的影响范围。更重要的是,尽管是定性的,但这项研究表明,构造对上倾过程的影响也是盆地深层沉积记录性质的原因。

Many buildings of the historical centre of Urbino (Marche, Central Italy), included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, are characterized by portals consisting of sedimentary rocks such as limestones or sandstones. In order to identify the possible quarries of provenance of sandstones used for architecture, we addressed our research to the Sant'Ippolito area (20 km ESE of Urbino), where historical stonemasons have been extensively documented since the 14th century. Few traces of ancient exploitation indicate some extraction sites. All the investigated rocks (both from monumental portals of Urbino and geological outcrops) consist of fine- to medium- grained sandstones with a variable content of bioclasts. Two different groups were recognized (using the petrographic Q-F-R classification diagram): (i) lithic arenites belonging to the Colombacci Formation; and (ii) feldspathic lithic arenites referable to the Tripoli Unit. In particular, petrographic data indicate that the sandstones used in the historical buildings of Urbino, come from the arenitic lithofacies of the Messinian p.p. Colombacci Formation of the Sant'Ippolito area. In addition, comparative geochemical studies of whole rock major and trace elements point out three outcrops of the above formation, as possible sites of ancient extraction. Sandstones of the Tripoli Unit and the Marnoso-Arenacea Formation, widespread in the study area and near Urbino respectively, are ruled out as source rocks, based on both petrographic and geochemical data.Anomalously high values of some heavy elements such as Pb, Zn and As, recognized in some of the portals, likely derive from a combination of various anthropogenic sources of pollution close to the investigated monuments, such as domestic heating and emissions from road traffic in the past.From a mechanical point of view, the uniaxial compressive strength tests, carried out on a representative number of selected samples of the Colombacci Formation lithic arenites, yelded low values and high variability. Other investigated physical parameters also indicate that the stones used for the portals did not represent a good choice as building material. This implies that the stonemasons of Sant’Ippolito chose local raw materials for their availability, aesthetic qualities and good workability, rather than structural properties.
乌尔比诺历史中心(意大利中部马尔凯)的许多建筑被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录,其特点是大门由石灰岩或砂岩等沉积岩组成。为了确定用于建筑的砂岩来源的可能采石场,我们对Sant’Ipolito地区(Urbino东南20公里)进行了研究,自14世纪以来,该地区的石匠历史已被广泛记录。很少有古代开采的痕迹表明有一些开采遗址。所有被调查的岩石(均来自乌尔比诺的纪念性门户和地质露头)均由细粒至中粒砂岩组成,其中生物碎屑含量可变。识别出两个不同的组(使用岩相Q-F-R分类图):(i)属于Colombacci组的岩屑芳烃;和(ii)的黎波里单元的长石岩屑砂岩。特别是,岩相数据表明,Urbino历史建筑中使用的砂岩来自Sant’Opolito地区Messinian p.p.Colombacci组的芳烃岩相。此外,对全岩主要元素和微量元素的比较地球化学研究指出,上述地层的三个露头可能是古代提取的地点。根据岩相和地球化学数据,分别分布在研究区和乌尔比诺附近的的黎波里单元和Marnoso-Arenacea组的砂岩被排除为烃源岩。一些门户网站中发现的一些重元素(如Pb、Zn和as)的异常高值,可能是由于调查古迹附近的各种人为污染源的结合,如家庭供暖和过去道路交通的排放。从力学角度来看,对Colombacci组岩屑砂屑岩的代表性样本进行的单轴抗压强度测试显示出低值和高可变性。其他调查的物理参数也表明,用于大门的石头并不是一个很好的建筑材料选择。这意味着圣伊波利托的石匠选择当地原材料是因为它们的可用性、美观性和良好的可加工性,而不是结构性能。

Continental margins are often characterised by wide slope sectors with complex topography due to seafloor deformation linked with mobile shale or salt, or local tectonics. Within the resulting slope environments, sedimentary systems can be complex and often structured in variously connected, separate intraslope basins. In this paper, we investigate how the diverse arrangement of sedimentary systems on topographically complex slopes relate to regional differences in extensional tectonic setting. Our study is carried out through the analysis of bathymetric data in the central and southeastern portion of the Tyrrhenian Sea, a back-arc basin that displays wide slope sectors, surrounding the deep Marsili and Vavilov basin plains. A “connected tortuous corridor” forms in the Latium-Campanian slope, where extensional faults are parallel to the margin. Here, tectonic structures are important in controlling the relative extent of dip and strike sectors as well as depositional and erosional segments of submarine drainage networks. Confined, margin-parallel troughs, such as the Capo d’Orlando and the Paola Basins, form respectively landward from volcanic edifices and mud remobilisation ridges. Their depositional setting is mainly the result of the relationships between the basin dip and the site of major sediment input. An unconfined trough parallel to the margin forms when its edge coincides with down-to the basin extensional faults, such as in the case of the Gioia Basin. Its axis is the site of a longitudinal slope valley that shows morphologic variations controlled by tectonic structures. Transverse troughs cutting the entire slope form when tectonic structures are perpendicular to the margin, such as in the Cilento slope. Here, the pattern of extensional faulting is the major control on the degree of connection of successive basins and the eventual development of a drainage system. Throughgoing slope valleys form in graded slope, where sedimentary packages are thick enough to heal the relief associated with tectonic structures. They have planforms, relief and erosional or depositional attitude that is controlled by slope steps connected with faults. As a general outcome, our research provide a valid framework that illustrates the range of possible architectures of sedimentary systems and of their constituents in extensional continental margins.
大陆边缘通常以宽斜坡区为特征,地形复杂,这是由于海底变形与活动页岩或盐或局部构造有关。在由此产生的斜坡环境中,沉积系统可能是复杂的,并且通常在各种连接、独立的斜坡内盆地中构造。在本文中,我们研究了地形复杂斜坡上沉积系统的不同排列与伸展构造环境的区域差异之间的关系。我们的研究是通过分析第勒尼安海中部和东南部的测深数据进行的,第勒尼安海是一个弧后盆地,显示出宽的斜坡区,围绕着Marsili和Vavilov盆地深平原。Latium Campanian斜坡形成了一条“相连的曲折走廊”,伸展断层与边缘平行。在这里,构造结构在控制海底排水网络的倾斜和走向区段以及沉积和侵蚀区段的相对范围方面很重要。封闭的边缘平行槽,如Capo d‘Orlando和Paola盆地,分别由火山建筑和泥质再活化山脊向陆地形成。它们的沉积环境主要是盆地倾角与主要沉积物输入地点之间关系的结果。当其边缘与向下至盆地的伸展断层重合时,形成平行于边缘的无侧限槽,例如Gioia盆地。它的轴线是一个纵向斜坡谷的位置,显示出受构造控制的形态变化。当构造结构垂直于边缘时,形成切割整个斜坡的横向槽,例如Cilento斜坡。在这里,伸展断裂模式是对连续盆地连接程度和排水系统最终发展的主要控制。贯穿斜坡的山谷形成在渐变斜坡中,那里的沉积包足够厚,可以修复与构造结构相关的起伏。它们具有由与断层相连的斜坡台阶控制的平面形状、起伏和侵蚀或沉积姿态。总的来说,我们的研究提供了一个有效的框架,说明了伸展大陆边缘沉积系统及其成分的可能结构范围。

The thick evaporitic deposits cropping out widely in central Sicily are subdivided into First and Second Cycle Evaporites, separated by a regional unconformity, and are spectacularly exposed in the Balza Soletta section of the Corvillo Basin, one of the main depocenters of the Caltanissetta Basin. Here, the evaporitic succession mainly consists of Second Cycle fan-delta conglomerates and gypsarenites, onlapping the First Cycle Evaporite units.A detailed sedimentological analysis of the whole succession, coupled with the study of the microfossil content (foraminifers, calcareous nannofossils and ostracods) of selected samples representative of the different facies, indicates that the deltaic deposits of the Second Cycle record a continuous overall fining- and deepening-upward trend with a waning clastic input, likely registering a gradual reflooding. The microfossil associations (mainly ostracods and benthic foraminifers) agree with the existing data on the microfauna populating the upper Messinian Lago-Mare in Sicily before the early Pliocene reflooding, supporting the sedimentological interpretation and the hydrodynamic connection with the Paratethys.
在西西里岛中部广泛出现的厚蒸发岩矿床被细分为第一和第二旋回蒸发岩,被区域不整合分开,并在Corvillo盆地的Balza Soletta段引人注目地暴露出来,Corvillo流域是Caltanissetta盆地的主要沉积中心之一。蒸发岩序列主要由第二旋回扇三角洲砾岩和石膏岩组成,覆盖第一旋回蒸发岩单元。对整个层序的详细沉积学分析,再加上对代表不同相的选定样品的微体化石含量(有孔虫、钙质超微化石和介形虫)的研究,表明第二旋回的三角洲沉积物记录了持续的整体变细和加深的上升趋势,碎屑输入减少,很可能会出现逐渐的再膨胀。微化石组合(主要是介形虫和底栖有孔虫)与上新世早期回流前西西里岛上墨西尼亚泻湖中的微动物的现有数据一致,支持沉积学解释和与副特提斯的流体动力学联系。
