In the Northern Apennine fold and thrust belt, the post-collisional stages are characterized by the Oligocene–Pliocene progressive shortening and shifting of the foredeep basins, resulting from the eastward migration of the orogenic front toward the belt foreland represented by the Adria plate continental margin. The foredeep deposits were involved in the tectonic stack as thrust sheets detached from their substrate and overthrust by the Ligurian Units derived from the Jurassic Ligure-Piemontese oceanic basin. The Eocene-Oligocene succession of the Mt. Modino Unit (Tuscan Domain of the Northern Apennines) is composed by turbidites deposited during the early collisional and post-collisional stages. The biostratigraphical, petrographycal and ...
