| Title | Telescoped extensional veins in a thick carbonate turbidite |
|---|---|
| Description | Telescoped extensional veins in a thick carbonate turbidite from the Liguride Complex in the Northern Apennines. The extensional veins are part of a system that includes large bedding-parallel veins that appear to have formed early in the lithification process, perhaps due to very high fluid pressures within this complex, which is believed to be an ancient accretionary wedge. |
