Title: Characteristics of the circum-Tyrrhenian Hercynian massifs and their role in the Alpine-Apennine chains
Abstract: In the southern part of Sardinia, the Cambrian-Lower Ordovician succession is slightly deformed by the “Sardic Phase.” Large open folds run roughly east-west and are never accompanied by penetrative cleavage or metamorphism. The main deformation and metamorphism were due to Hercynian orogenesis. The main Hercynian tectonics are characterized by a subvertical strain-slip cleavage or, in the lower structural levels, by isoclinal folds accompanied by a subhorizontal slaty cleavage and syn-kinematic metamorphism in the greenschist facies (Minzoni, 1980).
