...F. Nigro; P. Renda Abstract The Sicily chain is a segment of the Apennines-Maghrebides belt. It is composed of foreland-verging tectonic units overridden onto a thick Mesozoic-Tertiary carbonate platform (Hyblean-Pelagian Block p.p.). The chain units are mostly composed of pelagic basin and thin...

Despite many significant differences in the stratigraphy and palaeogeographical setting of the successions involved in the thrust units...
