Seismo-stratigraphic characters of paleocontourites along the Calabro-Tyrrhenian margin (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

These deposits are quite rare along the Tyrrhenian margins and their formation-preservation seems to be related to the peculiar morphological setting of the area, characterized by a morpho-structural high and a slide scar. Their presence is relevant for the stratigraphy of the eastern Tyrrhenian margin as they underline the importance of bottom-current processes, with implications on paleocirculation reconstructions of the Mediterranean Basin.
