Integrated synthesis of Contessa Section. The acronyms in bold indicate the biostratigraphic events; * indicates local events. On the left side of the Figure are reported the polarity intervals and their correlation to the ATNTS2012. The dashed lines show the hiatuses height (H1, H2 and H3). The continuous lines correlate the stratigraphic position of the recognised biovents to the standard mediterranean and oceanic planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossil biozonal schemes and to the ATNTS2012.

Panoramic view of the Contessa Section studied outcrop. The figure shows the Raffaello Level (RL -white line), which is the boundary between the Scaglia Cinerea and Bisciaro formations, and the level of Helicosphaera ampliaperta FO (yellow), which sets the base of the Burdigalian stage. In black are indicated the new sampling trajectories (line length: 1=13.70 m; 2=23 m). The dashed red lines pinpoint the transtensional faults, few with the strike subparallel to the outcrop.

Figure 5. Plots of measured δ18O for selected samples from Contessa Quarry and their model-calculated primary δ18O after correction for diagenesis, assuming constant recrystallization trajectory for the sediments. The number of data points for the Contessa section has been reduced by a factor of 15 to simplify the plot and does not represent smoothing from diagenesis. Thin black line is measured δ18O vs. age for Contessa Quarry; δ18O data as in Figure 2. Thick gray line is model-calculated primary δ18O for slow recrystallization trajectory (a = 0.001, b = 0.015, g = 8.5). Thick black line is model-calculated primary δ18O for fast recrystallization trajectory (a = 0.004, b = 0.067, g = 2.1). Abbreviations as in Figure 2.

Outcrop photographs of hybrid beds containing cohesive mud-rich debrite and turbidite in the Miocene Marnoso-arenacea Formation (Talling et al., 2012b). (A) Bed in the below-Contessa section at the Castel del Priore section comprising turbidite mud (TM), mud-rich sandstone lacking clasts (MS2), and basal clean sand (CS). The mud-rich sandstone infills dune crests at the top of the basal clean sandstone, which indicates slow emplacement of the mud-rich sandstone by a low-strength cohesive debris flow. Beds contain mud-rich sand intervals with clasts. (B) Thin debris flow deposit with mud-rich sandstone matrix that contains boulder-sized mudstone clasts to 320 cm in length. The base of the bed comprises a thin layer of clean sand (CS). The debrite is overlain by a thin interval of rippled clean sand (Sst top) and turbidite mud. The bed is several hundred meters below the Contessa Bed in the Cabelli-1 section (no. 29). MS1 refers to mud-rich debrite sandstone, while HM denotes hemipelagic mud.

Stable isotope data are also shown from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Hole 748B between 50 and 32 Ma for comparison of the middle Eocene climatic optimum event (modified from Bohaty and Zachos, 2003). The 1.5 m.y. mismatch in the middle Eocene climatic optimum event is discussed in the text. MECO—middle Eocene climatic optimum; VPDB—Vienna Peedee belemnite standard.
