Abstract

In the Murge the Upper Cenomanian limestones belonging to the Sannicandro Member of the “Calcaredi Bari” Formation are characterized by four facies associations (A-D), related to a prograding depositional system. The lateral zonation consists of a lagoon (A) passing seaward to sandy shoals with rudist buildups (B), to sandy bioclastic slope (C) and, lastly, to shallow basin (D). The stratigraphic organization consists of lateral and vertical stacking of sigmoidal- and wedge-unit sets controlled by changes in accommodation.
