TL;DR: Compositional and chemical analyses suggest that Middle Triassic-Lower Liassic continental redbeds (in the internal domains of the Betic, Maghrebian, and Apenninic chains) can be considered a regional lithosome marking the Tethyan rifting, which led to the Pangaea breakup and subsequent development of a mosaic of plates and microplates as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the composition and stratigraphic relations of sandstones and associated conglomerates derived from erosion of the northern Calabrian terranes provide important constraints for paleotectonic and paleogeographic models of the Neogene wedge-top depozone evolution of the southern Italy foreland basin system.

TL;DR: The Tufiti di Tusa Formation as discussed by the authors is a siliciclastic turbidite system of lower Miocene age in southern Italy, mainly composed of volcaniclastic and quartzolithic sandstones interbedded with mudrocks.

TL;DR: In this article, the Ionian margin of northern Calabria along the southeastern coast of Italy provides a favorable setting in which to study complete transects from continental to deep-marine environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the seafloor morphology and the acoustic facies of relevant morphologic features were analyzed to describe the Calabria foreland basin system and provide an analogue for other basins similarly affected by a close relation between sediment supply and active tectonics.
