Abstract
Relations between a sedimentary-tectonic event and Ichnology: an example in the Stilo-Capo d'Orlando Formation (Oligo-Miocene) nearby Bova (Southern Ionian Calabria).
Nearby the Bova village (southern Ionian Calabria) the contact between the lower continental member and the upper marine member of the Stilo – Capo d'Orlando Formation crops out. This transition is underlined both by sinsedimentary faults and slump deposits. The sedimentological and ichnological study of a stratigraphic section have allowed to suppose a shallow marine depositional environment, which paleodepth was most probably located below the main wave base.
