Fission-track Reconstruction of the Front of the Northern Apennine Thrust Wedge and Overlying Ligurian Unit
Massimiliano ZattinVincenzo PicottiGian Gaspare Zuffa
In the Northern Apennines foreland, the Marnoso-arenacea Formation (MA Fm) records post-depositional burial temperatures overlapping with those of the zone of partial annealing of apatite fission tracks. Because the stratigraphy,...
