Post-Turonian (Late Cretaceous) rudist-bearing limestones of the Nurra region in northwestern Sardinia (northern Tethyan margin) and in the central-southern Apennines and Apulia (central Tethyan domain) have examined in order to assess the environmental processes that, acting on a global scale, profoundly modified the Early Cretaceous hydrosphere–atmosphere system and forced Tethyan depositional systems to change their organization, internal architecture, and facies patterns. The Late Cretaceous carbonate systems can be viewed as geological products which have closely and coherently recorded the globally changing environmental conditions of the oceanic realm.

Abstract
Post-Turonian (Late Cretaceous) rudist-bearing limestones of the Nurra region in northwestern Sardinia (northern Tethyan margin) and in the central-southern Apennines and Apulia (central Tethyan domain) have examined in order to assess the environmental processes that, acting on a global scale, profoundly modified the Early Cretaceous hydrosphere–atmosphere system and forced Tethyan depositional systems to change their organization, internal architecture, and facies patterns. The Late Cretaceous carbonate systems can be viewed as geological products which have closely and coherently recorded the globally changing environmental conditions of the oceanic realm.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
