“…The Roccamonfina Volcano is made up of lavas and pyroclastic rocks erupted in three main phases of activity (Fig. 56;De Rita & Giordano 1996;De Rita et al, 1998;Rouchon et al, 2008), which started at about 590 ka (Ballini et al, 1989a). The first phase (stratocone building phase -Roccamonfina synthem) was dominated by emplacement of leucite-bearing lavas interbedded with deposits of mild explosive eruptions both from the central volcano and from parasitic monogenetic centres (Figs 55, 56).…”

“…57), made of olivine, clinopyroxene, leucite, plagioclase, Ba-phlogopite, apatite, Ti-magnetite, and minor amphibole, with sanidine and rare sodalite as accessory phase. A lateral sector collapse (Rio Rava ignimbrite) of the stratocone at 440 ka formed a large horse-shoe shaped depression open to the East (De Rita & Giordano, 1996;Rouchon et al, 2008), but leucite-bearing volcanic activity did not end and continued with the building up of a new stratocone, which almost completely covered the old volcano-tectonic depression (Di De Rita & Giordano, 1996;Giannetti, 2001). …”

Abstract:The Molise Apennines feature numerous relicts of paleosurfaces, mostly of erosional origin, which represent the remnants of gently-rolling ancient landscapes now hanging at different altitudes above the local base-levels of erosion. Their genesis can be related to prolonged periods of relative tectonic stability alternating with periods of uplift, or to the interplay between steady tectonic uplift and climatic fluctuations. Four orders of paleosurfaces were recognized: I ( > 1,100 m a.s.l.), II (900-1,000 m a.s.l.), III (750-850 m a.s.l.), IV (600-720 m a.s.l.). The most ancient orders (I and II) are cut into the bedrock and are located at the top of the Matese and Montagnola di Frosolone massifs. The youngest paleosurfaces (III-IV), partially cut into Quaternary deposits, are found along the valley flanks of the main river systems and within the Boiano, Carpino, Isernia and Sessano intramontane basins. The present study deals with the dating of the Sessano Basin Paleosurface (SBP) which is related to the IV order and is cut into the basin infill. The 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age of a tephra layer (437 ± 1.9 ka), intercalated at the top of the succession, supported by archaeo-stratigraphic, palynological and paleopedological data, allowed the SBP surface to be constrained to 350-300 ka. The SBP chronological position represents an important morphostratigraphic marker: it is the first ante quem and post quem date that allows the chronological position of the other orders of paleosurfaces to be better constrained.

Integrated electron microprobe analyses (EMPAs) on glass and Sr–Nd isotope analyses have been performed on 17 tephras from the Middle Pleistocene Mercure lacustrine succession, southern Apennines. Two 40Ar/39Ar ages and the recognition of four relevant tephras from Colli Albani, Sabatini and possibly Roccamonfina volcanoes allowed us to ascribe the investigated succession to the late Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 15–12 interval (560–440 ka). The Sr–Nd isotopes and major element glass compositions allowed us to attribute 10 out of the other 13 tephras to a poorly known activity of the Roccamofina volcano, whereas two layers were tentatively attributed to previously unknown Middle Pleistocene activity of Ponza Island or Campanian volcanoes, and one to Salina Island. The tephrostratigraphic correlation of the Mercure tephras with the Acerno lacustrine pollen record (Campania) also allowed us to evaluate the climatostratigraphic position of the tephras within the framework of the MIS 15–12 climatic variability. These results were obtained by combining the Sr–Nd isotope ratio with EMPA and 40Ar/39Ar geochronological data. This confirms the notable consistency of this approach for studying the Mediterranean Middle Pleistocene tephrostratigraphy, which, despite its great potential for both volcanology and Quaternary studies, has been hitherto barely explored.
