Journal ArticleDOI
Tidal depositional systems in the rock record: a review and new insights
TL;DR: Some of the principles of tidal wave theory and examples of mega-, macro-, meso-and micro-tidal coasts are reviewed, as well as sedimentary successions showing general tidal signals (tidalites) and thinly-laminated, cyclically stacked tidal strata (Tidal rhythmites) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Types of mixing and heterogeneities in siliciclastic-carbonate sediments
TL;DR: In this article, different types of mixing (compositional versus strata) controlled by different allocyclic (e.g., sea-level, climate) and/or autocyclic factors that operate at different scale are documented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentary facies and sequence stratigraphy of coarse-grained Gilbert-type deltas within the Pliocene thrust-top Potenza Basin (Southern Apennines, Italy)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify a suite of deltaic and non-deltaic depositional environments occupying semi-confined marine embayments along the southern-western basin margin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tidal signatures in Neogene to Quaternary mixed deposits of southern Italy straits and bays
Sergio G. Longhitano,Domenico Chiarella,Agata Di Stefano,Carlo Messina,Luisa Sabato,Marcello Tropeano +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the upper Miocene to Middle Pleistocene sedimentary successions of Basilicata, Calabria and NE Sicily, showing laterally-accreted, cross-strata of mixed composition, with the siliciclastic fraction derived from either sedimentary or metamorphic rocks and the bioclastic fraction produced by an in situ or near situ heterozoan factory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The record of tidal cycles in mixed silici–bioclastic deposits: examples from small Plio–Pleistocene peripheral basins of the microtidal Central Mediterranean Sea
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that this particular facies of mud-free, silici-bioclastic arenite rhythmites in the stratigraphic record might indicate a specific type of depositional sub-tidal environment of straits and embayments and the shortest-term tidal cycles.
