Offscraping and shallow ophiolite accretion in the Ligurian Accretionary Wedge (Tuscan Apennines): role of seafloor structural inheritance
The Morello Tectonic Unit in the Tuscan Apennines (Italy) represents the result of tectono-sedimentary deformation, occurring in the frontal part of the non-metamorphosed Ligurian Accretionary Wedge, which consists of ophiolitic slices imbricated with a sedimentary succession containing ophiolite-bearing sedimentary mélanges. Geological mapping, structural and stratigraphic observations, allow us to document that (i) the ophiolite-bearing sedimentary mélanges formed by gravitational reworking of material sourced from intrabasinal structural highs facing the oceanic basin environment from Jurassic to lower Eocene, before the middle Eocene accretion stage, and (ii) the ophiolitic tectonic slices represent the scraping off at shallow structural levels of part of these crustal oceanic highs sequence. The final internal architecture of the shallow frontal portion of the Ligurian Accretionary Wedge does not differ from those observed in metamorphosed orogenic belts and exhumed accretionary complexes throughout the world (e.g., blueschist and eclogite units of Western Alps). This suggests that to the classical model of subduction and metamorphism followed by accretion and mélange formation (i.e., underplating), a model in which frontal accretion and ophiolite mélange formation at a shallow level are followed by underthrusting and subduction can be added, providing additional constraints to a better reconstruction of orogenic belts and accretionary complexes evolution.

期刊介绍:
Journal of the Geological Society (JGS) is owned and published by the Geological Society of London.
JGS publishes topical, high-quality recent research across the full range of Earth Sciences. Papers are interdisciplinary in nature and emphasize the development of an understanding of fundamental geological processes. Broad interest articles that refer to regional studies, but which extend beyond their geographical context are also welcomed.
Each year JGS presents the ‘JGS Early Career Award'' for papers published in the journal, which rewards the writing of well-written, exciting papers from early career geologists.
The journal publishes research and invited review articles, discussion papers and thematic sets.
