Slope deposition in carbonate rocks - Examples from the Gargano Promontory

In order to unravel the sedimentology of seismic features in the Chalk Group in the North Sea examination of slumps, slides and debris flows associated with the Apulia carbonate platform have been carried out. A recognisance study along the east coast of the Gargano Promontory took place in the period from October 2nd to October 10th 2012 with base in the city of Vieste.

A registration of exposures with reworked chalk was carried out and photo-documented. This report displays a catalogue of the visited localities. No detailed description of the sedimentary structures or analyses of the chalk have been carried out, but the report includes a recommendation for further work and possible field trips.
