NEOGENE AND QUATERNARY SEDIMENTATION PATTERNS IN THE NORTHWESTERN HYBLEAN PLATEAU (SE SICILY): THE EFFECTS OF A COLLISIONAL PROCESS ON A FORELAND MARGIN

NEOGENE AND QUATERNARY SEDIMENTATION PATTERNS IN THE NORTHWESTERN HYBLEAN PLATEAU (SE SICILY): THE EFFECTS OF A COLLISIONAL PROCESS ON A FORELAND MARGIN

Miocene carbonates and marls in the northwestern margin of the Hyblean Plateau (SE Sicily) exhibit considerable thickness variations consistent with synsedimentary tectonism. In the Early-Middle Mio­cene carbonates (Ragusa Formation) a series of parallel swells dose to the platform edge encouraged t...
