The Coldigioco-Castellaro basin is the Easternmost basin in a series of basins and adjacent topographic highs formed during the Early Miocene epoch by compression that produced the Italian Northern Apennines. Part of the Marnoso-Arenacea flysch, a sequence of sandstone, conglomerate, and mudstone, accumulated in this late stage basin bounded by two, synsedimentary, thrust-produced anticlines. This study examines the influence of the anticlines on flysch sedimentation in the basin.
