Abstract
Very High Resolution 3D seismic data collected on the Adriatic shelf define the smallscale geometric complexity of late Holocene deposits. Three groups of units have been distinguished from deeper to shallower: the Transgressive System Tract (TST), a condensed interval at the base of the Highstand System Tract (HST) and the progradational units of the HST. The HST deposits show large-scale shore-parallel undulations and shore-normal reliefs. The genesis of these features seems to be related to a combination of two mechanisms: 1) sediment deformation in relation with the condensed section and 2) depositional process related to shore parallel currents that increasingly interact with topography.
