Características sedimentológicas y tipología de pliegues sinsedimentarios en liditas: el ejemplo de la plataforma siliciclástica paleozoica del Sarrabus (SE de la isla de Cerdeña, Italia)

Abstract

This paper studies different black, banded siliceous rocks (lidites) from a Paleozoic unstable shelf (Sarrabus, Southeast Sardinia). These lidites were derived from submarine vents as a consequence of hydrothermal-sedimentary processes. The paper examines the sedimentological characteristics of lidites, studies the different types of associated synsedimentary folds and offers criteria for distinguishing lidites which take root in a vent (first type) from those which were glided through a paleoslope (second type).
