Abstract
The Ragusa zone is a gently deformed sector of the African continental margin which during late Neogene times played the role of the foreland of S-verging decollement nappes. This crustal sector underwent, during the Mesozoic, the typical evolution of a sunken continental margin. In the Ragusa zone, shape and dimension of the original paleogeographic domains are still preserved, since no significant crustal shortening has modified the areaFile in questo prodotto:
