Fault growth mechanisms and scaling properties in foreland basin system: The case study of Monte Alpi, Southern Apennines, Italy

摘要: Abstract The present work focuses on the comprehension of growth mechanisms and dimensional properties pre-Pliocene Monte Alpi fault network by mean integrated field laboratory analyses. After this multidisciplinary approach, detailed throw profiles are computed for each belonging to network. Subsequently, individual faults calculated. Data obtained from discussed in terms timing deformation, reported a conceptual tectonic evolution model Messinian foreland basin system. suggest that originally isolated segments developed during earliest stages formation re-activation pre-existing, Early Cretaceous set, an orthogonal one. These two sets formed scale-independent Differently, same were also active its subsequent development forming scale-dependent characterized T- Y-shaped intersections. This deformation controlled half-graben depocenters filled up ca. 600 meters terrigenous deposits Late time.
