“…Upper Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic terranes, in contrast, are developed in the surrounding regions, such as the Moroccan Atlas, Iberia, Languedoc, Provence, and Sardinia, which were only subordinately involved in Alpine orogenesis (Durand Delga and Fontboté 1980;Baudelot et al 1984;Martin-Algarra et al 1995). The Pseudoverrucano-Verrucano Domains, finally, were the Triassic precursor of a Jurassic-early Miocene continental block, from which the internal units of the Western Mediterranean Alpine Chains originated (Mesomediterranean Microplate; Guerrera et al 1993Guerrera et al , 2005Bonardi et al 2001).

A B S T R A C TCompositional and chemical analyses suggest that Middle Triassic-Lower Liassic continental redbeds (in the internal domains of the Betic, Maghrebian, and Apenninic chains) can be considered a regional lithosome marking the TriassicJurassic rift-valley stage of Tethyan rifting, which led to the Pangaea breakup and subsequent development of a mosaic of plates and microplates. Sandstones are quartzose to quartzolithic and represent a provenance of continental block and recycled orogen, made up mainly of Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks similar to those underlying the redbeds. Mudrocks display K enrichments; intense paleoweathering under a hot, episodically humid climate with a prolonged dry season; and sediment recycling. Redbeds experienced temperatures in the range of 100°-160°C and lithostatic/ tectonic loading of more than 4 km. These redbeds represent an important stratigraphic signature to reconstruct a continental block (Mesomediterranean Microplate) that separated different realms of the western Tethys from MiddleLate Jurassic to Miocene, when it was completely involved in Alpine orogenesis.

“…The Sicilian FTB (Figure 1(b)) is a complex stack of S-and SE-verging imbricates locally more than 15 km thick, whose building up is linked to both the postcollisional convergence between Africa and a complex 'European' crust (Bonardi, Cavazza, Perrone, & Rossi, 2001), and to the coeval roll-back of the subduction hinge of the Ionian lithosphere (Catalano, Valenti, et al, 2013;Doglioni, Gueguen, Harabaglia, & Mongelli, 1999 and references therein).…”

Mountain building in NW Sicily from the superimposition of subsequent thrusting and folding events during Neogene: structural setting and tectonic evolution of the Kumeta and Pizzuta ridges

et al. 2017

We present a 1:25.000 scale geological map of the Kumeta-Pizzuta ridge in north-western Sicily (Italy), achieved by integrating stratigraphic, structural and geophysical data. In this area, the tectonic edifice results from the piling-up of deep-water-, carbonate platform-and pelagic platform-derived tectonic units (Imerese and Sicilide, Panormide and Trapanese domains, respectively) resulting from deformations of the former southern Tethyan continental margin. The structural setting shows interference of tectonic events, different types of structural styles and different scales of deformational patterns. Early overthrust of the Imerese on the Trapanese units (since the late Serravallian) was followed by wedging at depth of the Trapanese units (after the Tortonian). The wedging implied re-embrication and shortening into the overlying Imerese tectonic units and so produced the main folding and compressive to transpressive structures along the Kumeta-Pizzuta Ridge. Seismic reflection profiles integrated with field data reveal that the main E-W-trending anticlines have been offset by high-angle reverse faults flattening at depth until they connect with low-angle, regionally widespread, decollement surfaces with a northward tectonic transport. This setting supports backthrusting along transpressional faults in the study area, ruling out that the Kumeta ridge is a positive flower structure related to a near-vertical deep, crustal, shear zone as formerly suggested.
