TECTONIC AND CLIMATIC CONTROL ON DEPOSITION OF SEEP-CARBONATES: THE CASE OF MIDDLE-LATE MIOCENE SALSOMAGGIORE RIDGE (NORTHERN APENNINES, ITALY)

Seep-carbonates are generally related to hydrocarbon seepage on continental margins. Modern cold seeps are abundant in actively deforming tectonic settings, suggesting that tectonics is one of the major controlling factor on fluid emissions. Hydrocarbon seepages areconsidered major geological source...
