Abstract
Our new data provide evidence for the presence of a 20â¯km long, NW-SE trending preserved paleoescarpment, where the basinal units onlap either the basement or the Caloveto Formation which forms a fringing carbonate body with intriguing facies and bio-sedimentological features. The paleoescarpment was the submarine morphological expression of a Sinemurian/Pliensbachian fault, as testified by the age of the clastic body that seals it. Another pulse of synsedimentary extension took place in the latest Pliensbachian/Toarcian, overprinting the existing rift architecture and reviving the production of megaclastic deposits.
