CRIS Current Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishThe eastern forelimb of the Maiella anticline above the leading edge of the underlying thrust displays a complex system of fractures, faults and a series of kink bands in the Cretaceous platform carbonates. The kink bands have steep limbs, display top-to-the-east shear, parallel to the overall transport direction, and are brecciated and faulted. A system of pervasive normal faults, trending sub-parallel to the strike of the mechanical layers, accommodates local extension generated by flexural slip. Two sets of strike-slip faults exist: one is left-lateral at a high angle to the main Maiella thrust; the other is right-lateral, intersecting the first set at an acute angle. The normal and strike-slip faults were formed by shearing across bed-parallel, strike-, and dip-parallel pressure solution seams and associated splays; the thrust faults follow the tilted mechanical layers along the steeper limb of the kink bands. The three pervasive, mutually-orthogonal pressure solution seams are pre-tilting. One set of low-angle normal faults, the oldest set in the area, is also pre-tilting. All other fault/fold structures appear to show signs of overlapping periods of activity accounting for the complex tri-shear-like deformation that developed as the front evolved during the Oligocene–Pliocene Apennine orogeny.

| Abstract: | The eastern forelimb of the Maiella anticline above the leading edge of the underlying thrust displays a complex system of fractures, faults and a series of kink bands in the Cretaceous platform carbonates. The kink bands have steep limbs, display top-to-the-east shear, parallel to the overall transport direction, and are brecciated and faulted. A system of pervasive normal faults, trending sub-parallel to the strike of the mechanical layers, accommodates local extension generated by flexural slip. Two sets of strike-slip faults exist: one is left-lateral at a high angle to the main Maiella thrust; the other is right-lateral, intersecting the first set at an acute angle. The normal and strike-slip faults were formed by shearing across bed-parallel, strike-, and dip-parallel pressure solution seams and associated splays; the thrust faults follow the tilted mechanical layers along the steeper limb of the kink bands. The three pervasive, mutually-orthogonal pressure solution seams are pre-tilting. One set of low-angle normal faults, the oldest set in the area, is also pre-tilting. All other fault/fold structures appear to show signs of overlapping periods of activity accounting for the complex tri-shear-like deformation that developed as the front evolved during the Oligocene–Pliocene Apennine orogeny. |
