Abstract

• Monte Sacro conglomerates are well exposed on the southern slopes of the Sacro Mountains in eastern Cilento, southern Italy. These deposits overlie the Cilento Group (Langhian- Lower Tortonian) so they are likely younger than the Early Tortonian. The formation extends from south to north for 8 km (5 mi) and the outcrop covers an area of about 15 km2 (5 mi2). Deposition occurred in a small, structurally confined basin at the base of a north-dipping slope. The primary deposits are coarse-grained channels. As the name implies (Monte Sacro conglomerates), the channels are characterized by the presence of conglomerates, but they change downcurrent into finer sands and rare muds. The outcrop includes multiple, stacked, coalescing channels with terraces; the total package is up to 600 m (1970 ft) thick but the individual channels range from 20 to 60 m (66-197 ft) thick and greater than 200 m (650 ft) wide. Numerous scoured surfaces are present and these are filled with the coarsest sediments up to pebbly mudstones with boulders to 80 cm (31 in) (F1) and poorly sorted, crudely graded, pebbly sandstones (F2). Other smaller scours, 0.5-2.0 m (1.6-6.5 ft) deep and only tens of meters (tens of feet) wide, occur within the overall channel complex. They are filled, from base to top, with the following facies: coarse-grained sandstones (with local, large-scale cross-stratification) (F6) that have crudely developed traction carpet deposits with minor grading (F4); structureless sandstones (F5); and medium- to fine-grained horizontal beds with sharp tops and bases that grade to beds with Bouma sequences (F9b). Non-channelized sandstones characterize the deposits lateral to the channels. There are a few conglomeratic zones in small convex- upward lenses, but they pinch out into poorly sorted, coarse-grained sandstones (F2-3) and finally into less coarse, structureless, medium- to fine-grained sandstones with pelitic (F9b) interbeds. The multiple channels that are present are often incised into either sheet sandstones or into underlying channels. The concentration/localization and the coarse fill of these channels indicates that there was a tectonic control on the development of the Monte Sacro conglomerates. Development of this complex was likely in a \"braid-plain\" deep-water setting with multiple reactivation surfaces. (literal)
