The Central poron of the Periadriac Basin (CPB), also known as the Pescara Basin (Ghielmi et al., 2013), is a N-S oriented foreland basin system associated to the Central Apennine Outer Orogenic Wedge. This system stretches along the Marche and Abruzzi regions and is an excellent example of an evolving mountain chain and associated deep-marine to fluvial-alluvial foredeep and wedge-top basin system. This fieldtrip has been designed to give an overview of the stragraphic architecture and evoluonary steps of the basin by integrang surface and subsurface datasets. It affords a fine west to east transect through the Messinian-Pleistocene basin fill in Abruzzo and Marche regions, where outcrops allow a close examinaon of sedimentary facies and architecture of deposional systems. The basin fill succession includes turbidites, coarse-grained submarine canyon fills, nearshore, coastal, and alluvial deposits. The analysis of facies architecture and disconnuity surfaces will allow the aendees to understand the relave role of climate, sediment supply, and thrust front propagaon inside the foreland basins system as several factors controlling the stragraphic record.

Abstract
The Central poron of the Periadriac Basin (CPB), also known as the Pescara Basin (Ghielmi et al., 2013), is a N-S oriented foreland basin system associated to the Central Apennine Outer Orogenic Wedge. This system stretches along the Marche and Abruzzi regions and is an excellent example of an evolving mountain chain and associated deep-marine to fluvial-alluvial foredeep and wedge-top basin system. This fieldtrip has been designed to give an overview of the stragraphic architecture and evoluonary steps of the basin by integrang surface and subsurface datasets. It affords a fine west to east transect through the Messinian-Pleistocene basin fill in Abruzzo and Marche regions, where outcrops allow a close examinaon of sedimentary facies and architecture of deposional systems. The basin fill succession includes turbidites, coarse-grained submarine canyon fills, nearshore, coastal, and alluvial deposits. The analysis of facies architecture and disconnuity surfaces will allow the aendees to understand the relave role of climate, sediment supply, and thrust front propagaon inside the foreland basins system as several factors controlling the stragraphic record.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
