Figure 4. Geologica! cross sections from seismic prof ifes across Drepano
Seamount area, through Adventure Bank 10 Southern Sicily offshore. The figure
shows from the top: (1) Plio-Pieistocene deposits, (2) cristalline and
sedimentary Kabilo-Calabride equivalent units, overthrust on (3) detached and
accreted flysches, (4) basin carbonates wedge slices, (5) platform and basin
ca rbonate thrusts (Panormide and Pre-Panormide), (6) Trapanese and
Saccense thrust units. underthrusting the (7) Lower-Upper Miocene foreland
basin deposits.

Figu re 5 . NW-SE t rending seismic profila showi ng t he post -Messinian
emplacement (out of sequence ?) of the internai "Kabilian-Calabrian' units
above more external Sicitian-Maghrebian carbonate units along the Drepano
Thrust Front. The overlying basinal setting shows extentional tectonics followed
by tectonic inversion of the sedimentary wedgo (l).
