Description :
Combined field mapping, structural analysis and Neogene stratigraphy were used to define the tectonic evolution of the Gavorrano-Capanne Vecchie area, located in the Southern sector of the Colline Metallifere region (Tuscany). A particular aim of this study was to constrain the deformation pattern accompanying the genesis and the emplacement of the Pliocene (4.9-4.4 Ma) Gavorrano monzogranite intrusion. A N-S. tranding righ-lateral strike slip fault segments arranged en-echelon was recognized as the main brittle deformation event in the study area. - (NF)
