The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Alps and Apennines developed along opposite subductions, which inverted the tethyan
passive continental margins located along the boundaries of Europe, Africa and the Adriatic …

The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and
separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …

The Re–Os (rhenium–osmium) chronometer applied to molybdenite (MoS2) is now
demonstrated to be remarkably robust, surviving intense deformation and high‐grade …

The dominant occurrence of phosphate minerals in crystalline rocks is as accessory phases,
most notably apatite, monazite, and xenotime. Because these minerals tend, to varying …

Fluid–rock interactions are a fundamental component of geodynamic processes. They link
mass and energy transfer with large-scale tectonic deformation and drive mineral deposit …

The internal= northern zones of the Maghrebide belt includes allochthonous massifs that
define, together with those from the Betics, Sicily and Calabria, a disrupted …

Grain-size control on sediment composition is investigated in modern proximal sediment
from the Sila Massif, where basic to felsic intrusive rocks are exposed in a Mediterranean …

Abstract The Calabria-Peloritani Orogen is an arcuate segment of the peri-Mediterranean
orogenic Alpine nappe system that comprises the whole Calabria and the north-eastern …

In this paper we characterized several weathering profiles developed on granitoid rocks in
the Sila Massif upland (Calabria, southern Italy), integrating detailed macro-and …
