Ophiolite complex of Piedmont-Ligurian basin (Northern Apennines)
Геофизический журнал, 2023 The Northern Apennines contain remnants of the Piedmont-Ligurian Basin (PLB) or ocean, which during the Late Mesozoic time (mainly in the Jurassic) separated the paleo-Europe (Iberian plate) from the southern paleocontinent Adria at the Africa promontory.
