Stratigraphic revision of the Cenozoic deposits of the Lungro-Verbicaro Unit (Northern Calabria): new data for the reconstruction of tectonic evolution of the southern Apennines
This work focuses on the transport processes, sedimentology and clast fabric of slope deposits cropping out in active depositional environments, widespread between 900 and 1000 m in altitude, close to Mormanno, in Northen Calabria. - (NF)
The AA. consider (without reaching any conclusions) four major open questions that bear on the original geologic relationships between Sardinia and Calabria, and that are closely interconnected : (1) Was Calabria a single terrane during post
-Hercynian time (Mesozoic and Cenozoic), or is it a composite terrane formed by Cenozoic collision of two subterranes, northern and southern? (2) What has the history of subduction under Calabria been? (3) Is there a recognizable match between the Hercynian
and Mesozoic geology of Sardinia and of Calabria? (4) How was Calabria extended during its rifting away from Sardinia? - (NF)
Marine terrace flights resulting from the interaction of Quaternary glacio-eustatic fluctuations and tectonic uplift are a typical feature of the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria in Southern Italy; in particular a terrace flight with four orders

Deeply weathered plutonic rocks occur widely in the Sila Massif, Calabria, southern Italy. The AA. have chosen three representative weathering profiles developed on the hilltops as a natural laboratory to study the generation of sand-sized particles

The results of a study on the stability conditions of the Gerace hill slopes (Reggio Calabria, Italy) are here reported. This study has been focused on the role of the geological setting of the hill, represented by a meso-cenozoic sedimentary
