“…(C) Location of the studied outcrops, projected on the geological map modified from Moisiu and Gurabardhi (2004). calciturbidites of mixed pelagic and benthic fauna (Skourtsis-Coroneou et al, 1995;Karakitsios, 2013) compose the Senonian limestones. In Italy, the Ionian Basin deposits of the Gargano promontory expose megabreccias attesting syn-sedimentary tectonics affecting the Apulian platform during Aptian-Albian (Bosellini et al, 1993(Bosellini et al, , 1999Borgomano, 2000;Graziano, 2000;Hairabian et al, 2014-in this volume). During the Late Cretaceous, base-of-slope deposits composed of carbonate breccias and bioclastic grainstones are reported during the Cenomanian and Coniacian-Maastrichtian (Monte San Angelo, Nevarra, Caramanica Formations) while the Turonian corresponds to a sedimentary hiatus in the basin, related to an emersion phase of the platform (Borgomano, 1987(Borgomano, , 2000.…”

“…The latter exposes resedimented deposits that have been extensively studied by a number of authors in a small area, i.e. the Gargano promontory, exposing an example of a platform-to-basin relation (Borgomano, 1987(Borgomano, , 2000Bosellini et al, 1993Bosellini et al, , 1999Graziano, 2000Graziano, , 2001Hairabian et al, 2014-in this volume). In contrast, little information exists with regard to the sedimentary processes involved in the sedimentation of a thick succession of about 300 m of Upper Cretaceous deposits outcropping in Albania.…”

Integrated in the peri-Adriatic domain, the Ionian Basin extended along a NW-SE direction during the Late Cretaceous, limited on its sides by the Apulian and the Kruja platforms. The basinal/slope succession was studied in seven outcrops exposed in the Albanian fold-and-thrust belt. Sedimentological investigations, supported by bio-and chronostratigraphy were performed on calcareous Upper Cretaceous hemipelagites, gravity-flow deposits and slumps. The western part of the basin was studied, revealing a strong influence of the Apulian margin, alternatively shedding sediment basinward, by means of a tectonically controlled edge. The Late Albian to Cenomanian period is characterized by the settling of muddy debrites along the margin. A deep basinal environment characterizes this period which prolongs until the Santonian, with no significant influx of the platform basinward. This sedimentary setting abruptly changed at the end of the Santonian, with an important influx derived from both platforms. Coarsening and thickening upward sequences show a progressive increase in sediment shedding during the Campanian. The Late Campanian-Early Maastrichtian period points out a major change on the resedimentation processes with the settling of several slumped units reworking thick sediment packages. The latter can be traced along the Apulian margin, testifying of instabilities along the edge of Apulia.

“…Calonge et al [31] reported that Sellialveolina vialli Colalongo has also been investigated in the lowermost of the Cenomanian Iberian Range (Spain). Bosellini et al [32] have also recorded Sellialveolina vialli Colalongo from the Early Cenomanian strata of Masseria Quadrone Limestone (east of Italy). Sartorio et al [33], Simmons et al [34] and Tertis et al [35] have confirmed the Lower Cenomanian age for this faunal assemblage.…”

“…The Gargano Promontory is built mainly of carbonate rocks belonging to a large paleogeographical domain known as Apulia Carbonate Platform that was part of the southern margin of the Tethys Ocean during the Mesozoic (Eberli et al, 1993). The backbone of the Gargano Promontory consists of various stratigraphic units, Late Jurassic to Eocene in age, deposited in inner-platform and basin settings (Bosellini et al, 1999), and of scattered outcrops of Oligo-Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene sediments (Casolari et al, 2000).

The south Adriatic shelf offshore of the predominently carbonate Apulian coast is characterized by a peculiar rough topography interpreted as relic karst formed at a time of lower sea level. The study area covers a surface of about 220 km 2 , with depths ranging from 50 to 105 m. The most relevant and diagnostic features are circular depressions a few tens to 150 m in diameter and 0.50 to 20 m deep thought to be dolines at various stages of evolution. The major doline, Oyster Pit, has its top at about 50 m water depth and is 20 m deep. It is partly filled with sediments redeposited by episodic mass failure from the doline's flank. Bedrock samples from the study area document that Plio-Pleistocene calcarenites, tentatively correlated with the Calcarenite di Gravina Fm, are a prime candidate for the carbonate rocks involved in the karstification, although the presence of other units, such as the Peschici or Maiolica Fms, is not excluded. The area containing this subaerial karst landscape was submerged about 12,500 years ago as a result of the postglacial transgression over the continental shelf.
