  • Thin-Skinned Versus Thick-Skinned Tectonics in the Friuli Alps (NE Italy) in Relation to the Alpine-Dinaridic Orogenic System
    Department of Earth Sciences UNIVERSITEIT UTRECHT Thin-skinned versus thick-skinned tectonics in the Friuli Alps (NE Italy) in relation to the Alpine-Dinaridic orogenic system MSc Thesis Dominique Engelen February 2016 Supervisors 1st Dr. Ernst Willingshofer 2nd Drs. Inge van Gelder 3rd Dr. Liviu Matenco In collaboration with Anissa Smits Abstract The Friuli Alps, located in the easternmost part of the eastern Southern Alps in north-eastern Italy, represent the interference area of the Dinaric and Alpine mountain chains. There is a wide agreement on the general evolution of the eastern Southern Alps, which would consist of a poly-phase compressional evolution involving three main thrust systems. However, the amount and initiation of the total amount of shortening is still poorly constraint. In this study we investigate the kinematic evolution by means of structural fieldwork and by the balancing and reconstruction of a N-S cross-section by use of MOVE software for 2D modeling. Interpretation of the data led to the definition of five deformation phases (D1- D5), in which a clear distinction could be made between thin- and a thick-skinned phases of deformation. Prior to the compressional phases is the D1 NW-SE extensional phase, which is expressed by NNW-SSE oriented normal faults, related to the NE-SW separation of the Friuli platform during the Early-Jurassic. The D2 NE-SW to E-W directed Dinaric shortening started during the Eocene and is expressed by SW to W-vergent thrusting and folding. Dinaric deformation is largely overprinted by three Alpine phases; D3 – N-S thin-skinned Alpine shortening (Middle- to Late-Miocene), characterized by large scale S-vergent thrusting along flat-ramp-flat trajectories, which resulted in great amounts of transport of the Upper-Triassic and Jurassic platform formations along four main décollements (the Bellerophon, Raibl and Biancone Formation, and the Eocene flysch) and ultimately to tripling and folding of the sedimentary cover.

Following these data, the Alps as a whole, and the Eastem Alps in particular, are the result of two independent Alpidic collisional orogens: The Cretaceous orogeny fo rmed the present Austroalpine units sensu lato (including from fo otwall to hangingwall the Austroalpine s. str. unit, the Meliata-Hallstatt units, and the Upper Juvavic units), the Eocene-Oligocene orogeny resulted from continent­ continent collision and overriding of the stable European continental lithosphere by the Austroalpine continental microplate. Consequently, a fundamental difference in present-day structure of the Eastem and Centrai/Westem Alps resulted. Exhumation of metamorphic crust fo rmed during Cretaceous and Tertiary orogenies resulted from several processes including subvertical extrusion due to lithospheric indentation, tectonic unroofing and erosional denudation. Original paleogeographic relationships were destroyed and veiled by late Cretaceous sinistral shear, and Oligocene-Miocene sinistral wrenching within Austroalpine units, and subsequent eastward lateral escape of units exposed within the centrat axis of the Alps along the Periadriatic fault system due to the indentation ofthe rigid Southalpine indenter.

The deforma­ tional history of the Triassic south of the Inn Valley is characterised by six stages: (1) Thinning by top SE extension during Jurassic continental breakup, (2) stacking of thinned slices by top NW thrusting during the time of peak tem­ perature metamorphism at 140 Ma (Early Cretaceous), (3) postmetamorphic top SE extension (Late Cretaceous) con­ temporaneously with Gosau sedimentation on top of the nappe pile of the Northern Calcareous Alps and (4) a long period of N-S compression (Eocene), resulting in northvergent thrusting and folding with development of a foliation , southvergent thrusting and, finally, overturning of the strata In the western part of the investigated area.

The evaluation is based on a numerical 1-D heat flow model, calibrated with vitrinite reflectance values. Aqueous fluid inclusions in quartz fissures crosscutting Permo-Scythian sediments and in fluorites hosted by Carnian carbonates give evidence for conductive heat transfer during fluid flow in the Late Cretaceous/Neogene. This implies that trapping temperatures of these fluids (125 °C to 220 °C in quartz, 115 °C to 180 °C in fluorite) can be used to approximate the burial temperatures (190 °C in the Permo-Scythian, 130 °C to 150 °C in the Carnian).
