Interpretation of Geophysical Data in the SW Sardinian Shelf, Western Mediterranean

P026 INTERPRETATION OF GEOPHYSICAL DATA IN THE SW SARDINIAN SHELF (WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN) S. FAIS 1 E.E. KLINGELE 2 and L. LECCA 3 Abstract 1 An improved tectonic model of the southwestern continental margin of Sardinia from an integrated interpretation of high resolution reflection seismic data and aeromagnetic data is presented in this paper. The investigated area located over a submerged crustal block was affected by extensional tectonics correlable with the extensional phase that characterized the well-known Oligo-Miocene opening of the Western Mediterranean. By the analysis of the Sparker high-resolution seismic data it was possible to recognise the main structural features
