Highlights

  • High-resolution age model and a high-resolution relative magnetic paleointensity reference curve for the Aptian-Albian. This succession extends from the uppermost part of the interval of the long normal Cretaceous superchron; it was Maiolica Formation (Tithonian to lower Aptian) to the lower designed to understand the causal linkages among geo- part of the Scaglia Bianca Formation and includes the entire Marne a Fucoidi Formation (Fig. 2)

  • Formation is represented by thin-bedded white to gray limestones interbedded with black shales

  • A total of two hundred forty organic-rich black shales and marls, millimeters to decimeters thick, is recorded in the cored sequence. These layers are not evenly distributed throughout the core. They are frequent to common in Units 2, 5 to 7, 9 to 15, 22 and 23 that are dominated by lithotypes that are pale olive to grayish olive and yellowish gray to light gray, and occasionally by pale olive and pale reddish brown to dark reddish brown (Fig. 2)

Summary

Progress Reports

This is evident from 1) changes in the nature of the Apennines of central Italy (Fig. 1) It represents a continuocean-climate system brought about by increased ocean ous record of fossiliferous pelagic rocks extending from crust production coupled with active midplate and plate the Albian-Cenomanian boundary down to the uppermost margin volcanism in a shifting paleogeography (Skelton et Barremian (99.6–126 Ma). High-resolution age model and a high-resolution relative magnetic paleointensity reference curve for the Aptian-Albian This succession extends from the uppermost part of the interval of the long normal Cretaceous superchron; it was Maiolica Formation (Tithonian to lower Aptian) to the lower designed to understand the causal linkages among geo- part of the Scaglia Bianca Formation (uppermost Albian to lowermost Turonian) and includes the entire Marne a Fucoidi Formation (Fig. 2)
