Seismically-induced slumps in Lower-Maastrichtian peritidal carbonates of the Apulian Platform (southern Italy)
TL;DR: In this article, a Lower Maastrichtian carbonate section showing soft-sediment deformation structures is composed of peritidal lithofacies associations developed in a wide low-energy inner-platform system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facies evolution and sequence chronostratigraphy of a “mid”-Cretaceous shallow-water carbonate succession of the Apulia Carbonate Platform from the northern Murge area (Apulia, southern Italy)
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study of the mid-Cretaceous carbonate succession of the Apulia Carbonate Platform cropping out in northern Murge area (Apulia, southern Italy) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic triggering of slump sheets in the Upper Cretaceous carbonate succession of the Porto Selvaggio area (Salento peninsula, southern Italy): Synsedimentary tectonics in the Apulian Carbonate Platform
TL;DR: In this article, two soft-sediment deformation horizons (slump sheets) separated by undeformed limestones with similar facies occur in this part of the succession.
Journal ArticleDOI
Did Adria rotate relative to Africa
D.J.J. van Hinsbergen,M. Mensink,Cor G. Langereis,Marco Maffione,Luigi Spalluto,Marcello Tropeano,Luisa Sabato +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, six new paleomagnetic poles from Adria, derived from the Lower Cretaceous to Upper Miocene carbonatic units of the Apulian peninsula (southern Italy), were presented, in combination with published poles from the Po Plain (Italy), the Istrian peninsula (Croatia), and the Gargano promontory (Italy).
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratigraphy of the mid-Cretaceous shallow-water limestones of the Apulia Carbonate Platform (Murge, Apulia, southern Italy)
Luigi Spalluto,Mauro Caffau +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct a 470 m-thick composite section mostly made up of mud-supported shallow-water limestones and dolomites, which is considerably lower than about 1000 m estimated before in the same area for the same time interval.
