Abstract

Original inventory of Deep-Seated Gravitational Deformations (DSGSDs) in the central Apennines includes about 250 cases. Relationship with tectonic features, inherited from Mio-Pliocene thrusting or due to Quaternary normal faulting, is evident. In this context, the first case of a basal shear zone at the bottom of a DSGSD found in the entire belt is documented. Field evidence and numerical modeling suggest a gravity-driven deformation mechanism for the development of non-tectonic breccias.
