Downwearing rates of vertical limestone surfaces in the intertidal zone (Gulf of Trieste, Italy)

This dataset represents the first collection of downwearing rates mainly measured using MEMs, but also TMEMs on vertical limestone surfaces in an intertidal zone and provides interesting new information for addressing the debate on notch genesis and development. The shape of a tidal notch has been found to be consistent with the distribution of erosion rates along the slab, even if the present-day notch was not surveyed in the Gulf of Trieste due to the local tectonic subsidence.
