Abstract
A mixed carbonate-siliciclastic succession developed on the southern margin of the Bonifacio Basin (Cala di Labra, SE Corsica) during the Burdigalian, in the margin of a back-arc setting which had formed during the Sardinia-Corsica block rotation. This shallow marine setting was fed by abundant nearshore siliciclastic supply, and substantial carbonate production/accumulation increased from the euphotic to the oligophotic zones. Two third-order depositional sequences (SD1,SD2) corresponding to Bur 3 and Bur4, are recorded in the sedimentary succession. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
