A Neogene-Quaternary Geotraverse within the northern Calabrian Arc from the foreland peri-Ionian margin to the backarc Tyrrhenian margin

The fieldtrip corresponds to a transect across the northeastern to the western Calabria. The two-days fieldtrip illustrates the Miocene to Quaternary tectono-stratigraphic features of the two distinctive Calabria margins. Sedimentary architecture and tectonic activity are testified in the infill of basins. Some structural features of the Calabrian Neogene basins cropping out in the northern sector of Calabria are exposed. The first day concerns the Neogene structural and stratigraphic evolution of the eastern Calabria margin in the peri-Ionian piedmont. The fieldtrip focus on the effects of the tectonic deformation during Neogene sedimentation in the Rossano and Crotone basins
