Growth rates and two-mode accretion in the outher orogenic wedge-foreland basin system of Central Apennine (Italy)

Auteur :
ARTONI, A.

Description :
The Central Apennine foreland basin system in the Marche and Abruzzi regions of Italy preserves the eastern leading edge of the Apennine orogenic wedge, formed from late Miocene to Pleistocene. Four thrust stacks make up this external portion Central Apennine orogenic wedge ; they progressively propagated towards the east, accreted the foredeep basin deposits and simultaneously shifted the depocenters of foredeep and wedge-top basin. The value obtained show that the late Miocene-Pleistocene growth of this orogenic wedge can be envisaged as a cyclic repetition of two accretion mode. - (NF)
