MUD DIAPIRS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN RIDGE: SEDIMENTOLOGICAL AND MICROPALEONTOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE MUD BRECCIA ...
Two recent sea-going expeditions showed that mud diapirism is a common feature in the accretionary wedge of the Mediterranean Ridge, but unlike in other prisms, it is well expressed exclusively in the most elevated areas of the Ridge. Three diapiric fields were discovered on the Mediterranean Ridge...
