The Apennine Carbonate Platform of southern Italy witnesses nearly 150 Myr (Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous) shallow-water carbonate sedimentation in the subtropical central Tethys. During this field trip, you will have a look at stratigraphy and facies across some key intervals global palaeoenvironmental perturbation important stratigraphic discontinuities history platform.During first day, v...

A late Cenomanian-early Turonian interval (Hamam-ghaleh section) adjusted with the transition of Aitamir and Abderaz formations has been investigated in the east of Koppeh-Dagh Basin to examine environmental perturbations related to the oceanic anoxic event 2. The dark shale of the upper Aitamir Formation indicate higher organic matter concentrations especially in the two intervals at the end o...

The Cenomanian–Turonian boundary (CTB) on the intra-Tethyan Adriatic Carbonate Platform (AdCP) is generally characterised by a transition between microbially laminated and/or bioclastic limestones to calcisphere-rich massive limestone with bioturbated intervals, organic-rich interbeds, firmgrounds, as well neptunian dikes, carbonate turbidites, tempestites and slumped structures.
