Mesozoic amalgamation of WTrPz terranes involved a series of accretion events, at least one of which...

Along the Sangineto-San Sosti line ( A modio M orelli et alii , 1976 ; Fig. 1b ), this tectonic pile came into contact with the San Donato-Lungro-Verbicaro unit, whose palaeogeographic and tectonic frameworks are still debated. Certain authors relate this unit to the Apennine...
