Work carried out in this thesis has the purpose to trace the tectonic and stratigraphic features of the Tyrrhenia Sea, and from these characteristics, to define the processes that get involved into the basin formation.
The Tyrrhenian is a back-arc basin belonging to the Western Mediterranean realm. Its formation is directly related with the subduction system of the Ionian slab (African plate) below the Mediterranean domain (European plate). The slab retreat causes an stretching of the overriding plate and triggered the opening of the Liguro-Provençal basin, and later on the Tyrrhenian basin (Faccenna et al., 2001; 2007). [...]
