ANATOMY OF AN UPPER ZANCLEAN MIXED SILICI-BIOCLASTIC TRANSGRESSIVE SYSTEM: THE ROLE OF HIGH-FREQUENCY EUSTASY AND TECTONIC SUBSIDENCE ON THE STRATAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE SPUNGONE SANDSTONE, EASTERN CENTRAL ITALY
The upper Zanclean Spungone Sandstone records the onset of a major transgression along the western margin of the Periadriatic Basin, eastern central Italy, and comprises a 130 m-thick succession of shallow-marine strata characterized by a highly regular cyclical stratigraphy. Integrated analysis of both physical and b...
