We have integrated onshore and offshore data, and interpreted seismic profiles from the ViDEPI project pertaining to the offshore Adriatic Sea of the Murge area, and made field observations north of Polignano a Mare. The fault has been surveyed onshore and mainly offshore along a distance of ~25 km. Generally striking E–W, it dips at high angle to the NNE in the west and to the N in the east. Active since at least the Cretaceous, this was reactivated after the Early Pleistocene with dextral oblique-slip kinematics. It borders the Monte Giove submerged relief/structural high, and continues eastwards in the Adriatic Sea into the Northern Deformation Zone/”Murge basse” graben, that in turn affected the onshore Murge area. Fault reactivation may have been related to a strain field in the outer part of the gentle buckle fold that involved the continental lithosphere of the Apulian Foreland (i.e., the areas of the Murge onshore and the Adriatic Sea offshore) since the Middle Pleistocene, as roll-back of the subducting lithosphere halted.

Three varieties of spherules have been distinguished: titanium-manganese-iron-silicate (TMIS) spherules, Ca-rich silicate spherules, and magnetite-wustite-iron (MW-I) spherules. TMIS spherules are composed of homogeneous glass, some having a native iron core. Large TMIS spherules may contain a crystalline phase with needle-like armalcolite. Ca-rich silicate spherules can be subdivided into two subtypes: calcium-silicate (CS) spherules where SiO2 and CaO are the dominant constituents, and calcium-iron-silicate (CIS) spherules with significant FeO content. CS spherules may contain a core consisting of native phases (Fe, Fe-Si, and Mn-Si-Fe). Native metal particles are represented by native Cu and native Zn. The spherule varieties from the Pivdenna pipe are similar to those from other kimberlite pipes in the world. We infer that the formation of spherules occurred in gas-melt streams, separately from the kimberlites, and propose a model for the formation of the most common variety of spherules (TMIS and MW-I varieties) in the region of the core-mantle boundary (CMB). First, a melt of the Fe-Ti-Mn-Si-O system was formed in ultra-low-velocity zones (ULVZ) as a result of thermochemical reactions (reduction) between the molten core and solid oxide-silicate rocks. The melt then migrates to shallower levels, where a decrease in temperature initiates oxidation with the formation of SiO2-TiO2-FeO-MnO-Fe0 melt, i.e. parent melt of TMIS and MW-I spherules. We interpret the formation of native metals in kimberlites as a result of the decomposition of nitrides, which came from the Earth’s core via intratelluric flows</p>","PeriodicalId":12587,"journal":{"name":"Geological Quarterly","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138528625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some characteristic features of this variation were observed. Coal seams of the Mississippian age (Serpukhovian, Paralic Series), formed within a near-shore environment, most often constitute small resources. There were only two intervals of increased coal accumulation in seams of >100 million tons, in the lower and uppermost parts of the Paralic Series. Within the Pennsylvanian coal-bearing succession of terrestrial fluvio-lacustrine origin, a specific, wave-like pattern of seam resource variations and four intervals of increased coal accumulation are observed. In the Lublin Coal Basin, the Lublin Beds only, deposited during the Late Bashkirian, are coal-bearing, in which a bell-shaped pattern of seam resource variation in the stratigraphic succession is observed. The location of enhanced coal accumulation events in the stratigraphic succession suggests their repetition at ~1–4 My intervals.
