Does compaction-induced subsidence control accommodation space at the top of prograding carbonate platforms? Constraints from the numerical modelling of the Triassic Esino Limestone (Southern Alps, Italy)
Abstract:Highlights• Various regressive facies are described on a high-relief carbonate platform.• Facies distribution of regressive facies documents accommodation changes.• Accommodation increases toward the prograding edge of the carbonate platform.• Numerical modelling tests compaction of basinal sediments to create accommodation.• Compaction of basinal sediments may control accommodation changes on the platform top.
