a Schematic geological map of Southern Apennines-Calabria-Peloritani showing the main groups of tectonic units (based onAmodio-Morelli et al. 1976; Bonardi et al. 2001; Vitale and Ciarcia 2013); b regional cross-section of the northern Calabria (based on Elter, Scandone 1980); d restoration of the Central Mediterranean region showing the distribution of the Central and Southern Apennine platforms and basins (after Patacca and Scandone 2007). The palinspastic reconstruction shows the position of Lagonegro-Imerese-Sicani and the northward prolongation between Tuscan and Umbria-Marche domains. This Mesozoic setting includes inheritance of former Permian precursors related to a major regional fault system, whose location is indicated as violet dashed line see text; e simplified paleotectonic frame showing the main domains involved in Southern Apennines-Calabria-Peloritani orogenic building and their relative pre-Mesozoic position
