arge scale eustatic events can be expected to influence marine sedimentation, not only in stable foreland settings but also in tectonically active regions. The signal characterizing each event is unique and can be recognized with confidence in all areas. This hypothesis is tested on successions developed in SE Sicily, and the Tertiary collision zone of N. Sicily and the S. Apennines.

Abstract
arge scale eustatic events can be expected to influence marine sedimentation, not only in stable foreland settings but also in tectonically active regions. The signal characterizing each event is unique and can be recognized with confidence in all areas. This hypothesis is tested on successions developed in SE Sicily, and the Tertiary collision zone of N. Sicily and the S. Apennines. All associations are interpreted as the products of offlap-onlap events apparently contemporaneous with proposed World eustatic event TB-23. It is concluded that the proposed RB 2.3 signal is of sufficient magnitude within the Mediterranean regions to be recogniseable throughout many of the Tertiary orogenic zones.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
