Abstract
The recent article of Loreto et al. (2021) reported new stratigraphic and structural data of the Tyrrhenian backarc basin and used them to propose a new model of crustal architecture of the basin including oceanic sectors. However, we want to open a discussion on the inconsistencies between the interpreted tectonic struc- tures, as well as the age of faults and the data observations. In particular, data analyses and interpretations of the authors do not fully support the structural and isopach maps and models presented. Furthermore, the authors have not dis- cussed previous published data/interpretations on timing and structural style of the rifting of the region| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
