Il Flysch di Solignano nel quadro dei Flysch a Elmintoidi (Maastrichtiano inferiore, Appennino settentrionale)

The Flysch di Solignano was deposited in a basin plain below the CCD close to the western margin of the Ligurian Tethys. The siliciclastic supply was mainly delivered by a crystalline basement of Sardinian-Corsican affinity. The carbonate supply, made up of pelagic ooze, derived by oceanic intrabasinal structural highs represented by transform prisms uplifted within the compressive field affecting the Ligurian domain during Late Cretaceous. Resedimentation processes were likely triggered by tsunami waves
