- 15 Dec 2015
TL;DR: The massif de l'Edough as discussed by the authors represents the most important part of the Maghrebides massif, and it has been studied extensively in the last few decades.

The multi-component mantle source of Roman province ultrapotassic magmas revealed by melt inclusions
TL;DR: In this article , the chemistry and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope compositions of melt inclusions in forsterite-rich olivine (Fo88−92) from three key Roman volcanic centres (Vulsini, Sabatini, Alban Hills) were analyzed to characterise the metasomatic imprint of their mantle sources.

High-resolution chemostratigraphy of a Miocene wedge-top carbonate shelf (San Marino Fm., Northern Apennines, Italy): The major role of the Monterey global fertility event
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the evolution of the San Marino carbonate succession, developed on a wedge-top basin of the northern Apennines during the Middle Miocene (Torriana outcrop, Marecchia Valley), through a high-resolution stable isotope analysis on different carbonate components.

Plio-Quaternary interaction between Adria and surrounding orogens: a Central-Northern Apennines perspective
TL;DR: In this paper , the current central-northern portion of the Adria Foreland Plate is considered as dissected into four independent crustal/lithospheric blocks, characterized by distinctive kinematic patterns, structural and seismotectonic characteristics.

A plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic constrained by dynamic plate boundaries and restored synthetic oceanic isochrons
TL;DR: In this article, a plate tectonic model for the Paleozoic and Mesozoic (Ordovician to Cretaceous) integrating dynamic plate boundaries, plate buoyancy, ocean spreading rates and major Tectonic and magmatic events was developed.

Experimentally based water budgets for dehydrating slabs and consequences for arc magma generation
Max W. Schmidt,Stefano Poli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, phase diagrams of hydrous mid-ocean ridge (MOR) basalts to 330 km depth and hydrous peridotites to 250 km depth are compiled for conditions characteristic for subduction zones.

Extension in the Tyrrhenian Sea and Shortening in the Apennines as Result of Arc Migration Driven by Sinking of the Lithosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, an arc migration model was proposed to explain the dynamic relationship between extension in the Tyrrhenian basin and compression in the Apennines, and the estimated contemporaneous (post-middle Miocene) amounts of extension and shortening in the apennines appear to be very similar.

Kinematics of the western Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary model for the Cenozoic kinematic evolution of the western Mediterranean oceanic basins and their peripheral orogens is presented, which integrates the motion of Africa relative to Europe based upon a new study of Atlantic fracture zones using SEASAT data and the Lamont-Doherty magnetic anomaly database.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the Tethys belt from the Pliensbachian (190 Ma) to the Tortonian (10 Ma) is depicted at 1 20,000,000 scale.
