“…In other alternative interpretations, the nappes of the Calabrian Arc originated from a microcontinent located between the European and African continents (e.g. Wildi, 1983;Guerrera et al, 1993;Critelli and Le Pera, 1998;Critelli, 1999;Mongelli et al, 2006;Critelli et al, 2008;Perri et al, 2008; or the Calabrian-Arc terranes are the result of the amalgamation of three " crustal microblocks" (e.g. Vai, 1992).…”

Provenance signatures for the Miocene volcaniclastic succession of the Tufiti di Tusa Formation, southern Apennines, Italy

The Tufiti di Tusa Formation, a siliciclastic turbidite system of lower Miocene age in\ud southern Italy, is mainly composed of volcaniclastic and quartzolithic sandstones interbedded with\ud mudrocks. Sandstones are subdivided into four distinctive petrofacies, evolving from quartzolithic\ud to volcaniclastic lithofeldspathic and feldspatholithic, reflecting detrital evolution from growing\ud orogen (quartzolithic petrofacies) to active volcanism (volcaniclastic petrofacies). The mineralogical\ud composition of the associated mudrocks is predominantly characterized by phyllosilicates, mainly\ud illite/smectite mixed layers (I/S R1 associated with minor amounts of I/S R0 in the lower part of the\ud succession, and I/S R3 in its upper part), together with illite, detrital micas and chlorite, and minor\ud amounts of chlorite/smectite mixed layers and kaolinite, in addition to quartz, calcite and feldspars. The\ud most abundant phyllosilicates are I/S mixed layers, 10-Å minerals (illite and micas) and chlorite, while\ud kaolinite and chlorite–smectite mixed layers are present as a few per cent or in trace amounts. X-ray\ud diffraction patterns show the occurrence of the ordered I/S R1 mixed layers in most samples but, at the\ud top of the succession, some samples are characterized by I/S R3 mixed layers, whilst in the lower part\ud of the succession I/S R1 is associated with a lower amount of I/S R0. These features suggest that the\ud Tufiti di Tusa Formation experienced a medium diagenetic grade, and the occurrence of I/S R3 could\ud be explained by K-availability in samples in the upper part of the succession. The lithic fragments in\ud sandstones are metasedimentary rocks of Palaeozoic age, and andesite to dacite volcanic rocks of early\ud Miocene age. The associated mudrocks also contain trace element ratios (Cr/V, Y/Ni, La/Sc, Th/Sc,\ud Th/Co, Th/Cr, Cr/Th and Eu/Eu∗) consistent with a provenance containing intermediate to silicic\ud sources with scarce or absent basic rocks. The chemical index of alteration (63.2 to 71.6) suggests a\ud moderate degree of weathering in the source. Furthermore, the K/Cs ratios of sediments confirm likely\ud moderate rather than intense weathering. The index of compositional variability (ICV) values (from 1.2\ud to 2.5) are high enough to suggest the mudrocks are first-cycle sediments with little recycling. The Al–\ud Ti–Zr diagram and the Th/Sc v. Zr/Sc plot indicate poor sorting and rapid deposition of the sediments.\ud Detrital and sedimentary evolution of the Tufiti di Tusa Formation provides constraints, in terms of\ud relations between a growing orogenic system and active volcanism in the Central Mediterranean, to\ud contribute to geodynamic and palaeogeographic reconstructions of the earliest collision in the southern\ud Apennines region

“…Wet-humid conditions favored the formation of stream channels that eroded the soil profiles, whereas, the partially Winchester and Floyd 1977;Fralick 2003;Zimmermann and Spalletti 2009) to reveal differences in the whole-rock composition of the studied sediment dry season favored sedimentation; successively new wethumid conditions caused the erosion of the sediments formed before Mongelli et al 2006;Critelli et al 2008;Perri et al 2008a;2008b). The alternation in the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic time of these different climatic conditions likely favored recycling process.…”

“…The studied sediments seems to be affected by reworking and recycling processes and, as a consequence, it is likely these proxies monitor cumulative effects of weathering (e.g., Mongelli et al 2006;Critelli et al 2008;Perri et al 2008aPerri et al , 2008b.…”
