In the Ligurian Alps, the Barbassiria massif (a Variscan basement unit of the Briançonnais domain) is made up of orthogneisses derived from K-rich rhyolite protoliths and minor rhyolite dykes. However, on account of subsequent Alpine deformation and a related blueschist facies metamorphic overprint that are pervasive within the Barbassiria...

Paleostress state reconstructions using fault-slip data yield the orientation of principal stress axes (σ1 > σ2 > σ3) and the ratio of the difference between principal stress magnitudes, i.e. the reduced stress tensors. To reconstruct the complete stress tensor (defined by six independent variables), we need to determine the two remaining...

Estimating the paleo-depth of a fossil fault usually requires the application of complex and highly specialized techniques. We propose a new method, that is based mainly on field data and simplifies the process: - calculation of the reduced stress tensor (with four variables) through inversion of fault-slip data; - calculation of the complete...

The present research explores a diverse suite of soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) combined with clastic dykes and shear deformation bands distributed throughout a Early Miocene-age mixed carbonate-siliciclastic coastal wedge located on the Ligurian coast (NW Italy) of the Mediterranean region. The studied Aquitanian-Serravallian...
