Tectonic relationships between the Paleozoic basement and the Mesozoic cover succession in the northern Dora-Maira Massif (Susa Valley, Western Alps)
The northernmost sector of the Dora-Maira Massif is a key area for studying the role of basement-cover detachment zones as markers for understanding the multistage tectonic evolution of orogenic belts. The 1:5,000 scale geological map highlights the tectonic relationships between the Paleozoic basement and Mesozoic cover successions, which are separated by the Bussoleno Detachment Shear Zone, representing the basement-cover interface, and are tec…
Subsurface geology of the Torino metropolitan area (Westernmost Po Plain, NW Italy)
The 1:100,000 subsurface geological map of the Torino metropolitan area covers ∼900 km2 in the westernmost Po Plain, an area of great relevance being crossed by the late Neogene to Quaternary ‘Torino Hill Front’ (THF), a tens of kilometers long, NW-verging buried and blind thrust. The map provides an updated representation of the bedrock geology below the late Early Pleistocene-Holocene Alpine-sourced fluvial blanket, relying on novel correlation…
Geology of the southern Dora-Maira Massif
In the Valmala sector of the southern Dora Maira Massif (Western Alps), two different eclogite- and blueschist-facies units (i.e. the Rocca Solei and Dronero units, respectively), are separated by a shear zone (i.e. the Valmala Tectonic Unit), which peculiarly consists of mixed slices of ophiolitic and continental rocks. A detailed geological map at 1:10,000 scale allowed to point out that the tectonic slices within the Valmala Tectonic Unit cons…
Role of structural inheritance in the gravitational deformation of the Monviso meta-ophiolite Complex
Depending on its chemical and mineralogical composition, the serpentinite represents a peculiar rocky material, which plays a significant role in influencing pedogenetic weathering, vegetation ecology, geo-mechanical and tectonic processes, as well as gravitational slope failure. In serpentinite-bearing environments the response to gravitational stress is more effective than in other rock types. In the Monviso meta-ophiolite Complex (Western Alps…
Geology of the Curone and Staffora Valleys (NW Italy)
In the northwestern part of Northern Apennines, between Curone and Staffora Valleys, the tectonic superposition between the External Ligurian Units (i.e. the ophiolitic-bearing chaotic complex of the Groppallo Unit and the non-ophiolitic Cassio Unit), the Middle Eocene – Miocene wedge-top basin Epiligurian Units succession, and the Late Messinian – Pliocene Po Plain succession, records the multistage tectono-stratigraphic evolution from subductio…
Geology of the Villalvernia – Varzi Line Between Scrivia and Curone valleys (NW Italy)
The External Ligurian and Epiligurian Units in the Northern Apennines of Italy are tectonically juxtaposed with the Tertiary Piedmont Basin along the Villalvernia – Varzi Line, which represents a regional scale fault zone, E-striking. Our map, at the 1:20,000 scale, describes the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of this sector that resulted from multistage faulting along that fault zone. Four main tectonic stages are defined on the basis of the cr…
Geology of the Aventino River Valley (eastern Majella, central Italy)
The Apenninic fold-and-thrust belt in Italy represents one of several interconnected circum-Mediterranean orogens developed after the Late Cretaceous – early Cenozoic closure of Tethys and convergence between the European and African plates. The Geological Map of the Aventino River Valley, at 1:25,000 scale, provides original mapping of the outermost sector of Central Apennines in the Abruzzi region. Focusing on detailed mapping of the crosscutti…
Geological map of the External Ligurian Units in western Monferrato (Tertiary Piedmont Basin, NW Italy)
The External Ligurian Units in western Monferrato (NW-Italy) have been always described as an undifferentiated chaotic complex. This map, at 1:10,000 scale, describes in detail the tectono-stratigraphic setting of these Units in the sector of the Alps–Apennines junction. Here, the External Ligurian Units represent the northwestern prolongation of the Northern Apennines and consist of a Late Cretaceous chaotic succession represented by the Argille…
