Abstract
The recent article of Loreto et al. (2021) reported new stratigraphic and structural data of the Tyrrhenian backarc basin and used them to propose a new model of crustal architecture of the basin including oceanic sectors. However, we want to open a discussion on the inconsistencies between the interpreted tectonic structures, as well as the age of faults and the data observations. In particular, data analyses and interpretations of the authors do not fully support the structural and isopach maps and models presented. Furthermore, the authors have not discussed previous published data/interpretations on timing and structural style of the rifting of the region.
期刊介绍:
Basin Research is an international journal which aims to publish original, high impact research papers on sedimentary basin systems. We view integrated, interdisciplinary research as being essential for the advancement of the subject area; therefore, we do not seek manuscripts focused purely on sedimentology, structural geology, or geophysics that have a natural home in specialist journals. Rather, we seek manuscripts that treat sedimentary basins as multi-component systems that require a multi-faceted approach to advance our understanding of their development. During deposition and subsidence we are concerned with large-scale geodynamic processes, heat flow, fluid flow, strain distribution, seismic and sequence stratigraphy, modelling, burial and inversion histories. In addition, we view the development of the source area, in terms of drainage networks, climate, erosion, denudation and sediment routing systems as vital to sedimentary basin systems. The underpinning requirement is that a contribution should be of interest to earth scientists of more than one discipline.
