The northern Apennines as a collisional orogen
Key Points
This research aims to investigate the geological processes associated with collisional orogens in the northern Apennines through the study of turbidity currents.
Examined sedimentological records from the Pliocene age in the Cellino Basin, Central Italy.
Analyzed turbidity currents to understand their role in shaping the geological features of the foredeep.
Identified significant evidence of turbidity currents during the Pliocene in the Cellino Basin.
Reported insights into the dynamics of collisional orogens based on sedimentary features observed.
