GEOLOGICAL FEATURES OF LARDERELLO-TRAVALE AND MT. AMIATA GEOTHERMAL AREAS (SOUTHERN TUSCANY, ITALY) (2003)

This paper summarises the geological features of the Larderello-Travale and Monte Amiata areas, where the world’s most ancient exploited geothermal fields are located. In both geothermal areas, three regional
tectonostratigraphic elements are distinguished, from the top: (a) Late Miocene-Pliocene and Quaternary, continental to marine sediments; (b) the Ligurian and Sub-Ligurian complexes, which include remnants of the
Jurassic oceanic realm and of the transitional area to the Adriatic margin, respectively; (c) the Tuscan Unit (Tuscan Nappe), composed of sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Late Triassic to Early Miocene.
