Beschreibung: The Apennines are a retreating collisional belt where the foreland basin system, across large domains, is floored by a subaerial forebulge unconformity developed due to forebulge uplift and erosion. This unconformity is overlain by a diachronous sequence of three lithostratigraphic units made of (a) shallow‐water carbonates, (b) hemipelagic marls and shales and (c) siliciclastic turbidites. Typically, the latter two have been interpreted regionally as the onset of syn‐orogenic deposition in the foredeep depozone, whereas little attention has been given to the underlying unit. Accordingly, the rate of migration of the central‐southern Apennine fold‐thrust belt‐foreland basin system has been constrained, so far, exclusively considering the age of the hemipelagites and turbidites, which largely post‐date the onset of foredeep depozone. In this work, we provide new high‐resolution ages obtained by strontium isotope stratigraphy applied to calcitic bivalve shells sampled at the base of the first syn‐orogenic deposits overlying the Eocene‐Cretaceous pre‐orogenic substratum. Integration of our results with published data indicates progressive rejuvenation of the strata sealing the forebulge unconformity towards the outer portions of the fold‐thrust belt. In particular, the age of the forebulge unconformity linearly scales with the pre‐orogenic position of the analysed sites, pointing to an overall constant migration velocity of the forebulge wave in the last 25 Myr.

Abstract:The Apennines are a retreating collisional belt where the foreland basin system, across large domains, is floored by a subaerial forebulge unconformity developed due to forebulge uplift and erosion. This unconformity is overlain by a diachronous sequence of three lithostratigraphic units made of (a) shallow‐water carbonates, (b) hemipelagic marls and shales and (c) siliciclastic turbidites. Typically, the latter two have been interpreted regionally as the onset of syn‐orogenic deposition in the foredeep depozone, whereas little attention has been given to the underlying unit. Accordingly, the rate of migration of the central‐southern Apennine fold‐thrust belt‐foreland basin system has been constrained, so far, exclusively considering the age of the hemipelagites and turbidites, which largely post‐date the onset of foredeep depozone. In this work, we provide new high‐resolution ages obtained by strontium isotope stratigraphy applied to calcitic bivalve shells sampled at the base of the first syn‐orogenic deposits overlying the Eocene‐Cretaceous pre‐orogenic substratum. Integration of our results with published data indicates progressive rejuvenation of the strata sealing the forebulge unconformity towards the outer portions of the fold‐thrust belt. In particular, the age of the forebulge unconformity linearly scales with the pre‐orogenic position of the analysed sites, pointing to an overall constant migration velocity of the forebulge wave in the last 25 Myr.
