GELASIAN TO CALABRIAN ONLAND MARINE RECORD: THREE CASE STUDIES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA

Abstract

Baldanza A. et al., Gelasian to Calabrian onland marine record: three case studies in the Mediterranean area. (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2011) Neogene to Quaternary marine sedimentation along the Italian peninsula occurred into physiographical articulated basins and was characterized by a paleoenvironmental diversification, both nearshore and offshore. Nevertheless, the nannofossil biostratigraphy allows comparisons in the Mediterranean area, also in the case of on-land sections. Three case studies are here proposed, testifying the importance of Calcareous Nannofossils also to correlate on-land sections throughout Italian Neogene deposits.
