Figure 3. (a) Selected stratigraphic logs and (b)-(i) field exposures used for reconstructing the general stratigraphy; (b–c) Retrosi Unit (URT): clast-supported conglomerates and gravels; (d) Amatrice-Sommati Unit, sandy member (UASs): yellowish massive-to-slightly bedded sands with silty matrix; (e–f) Amatrice-Sommati Unit, conglomeratic member (UASc): tabular conglomerates and gravels; (g–h) Laga Formation, siltstone-dominated lithofacies (LAGp): well bedded, centimetre-to-decimetre-thick planar beds of beige siltstone; (i) Laga Formation, sandstone-dominated lithofacies (LAGa): massive tabular and lenticular beds of grey to brown, medium-sized sandstone.
