Asset Overview

3D model of a 20-wide exposure showing Miocene calcarenites unconformably resting on top of Cretaceous shallow water limestone. Rocca di Cave, Italy. Left-dipping layers of calcarenites (central and left side of the exposure) are unconformably on top of sub horizontal Cretaceous limestones (right side of the exposure). Miocene strata are affected by fault tilted together with layers. The Miocene strata define a tilted growht wedge geometry, with strata on the left dipping about 70° and strata in the central part of the exposure dipping about 90°. Additional details can be found in this paper, in figure 10: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2015TC003836
