Mesozoic-cenozoic stratigraphy in the Umbria-Marche area

Geological field trips in the Umbria-Marche Apennines (Italy)

The book illustrates, through three geological itineraries, the sequence of sedimentary events that have taken place in the Marche-Umbria in the interval between the Upper Triassic and Miocene. The proposed itineraries allow the "visit" of stratigraphic sections in which are well exposed the litho and the biostratigraphic units that characterize the Marche and Umbria succession.

NOTE: In some chapters are quoted images related to other chapters. For this reason, at the bottom of the "Summary" has been inserted a table with the links to all the quoted images.
