Abstract
The outer Northern Apennines (ONA) are an arc-shaped fold-and-thrust belt, with northeastward convexity and vergence, that plunges northwestward, extending through Romagna and Umbria—Marche to northern Latium. From the SW to the NE, it is situated between the inner Northern Apennines and the Po Plain—Adriatic foreland. To the S, the volcanic products of the Roman magmatic province cover it, while to the SE it is bounded by the Latium—Abruzzi carbonate platform. As for the Alps—ONA boundary the reader is referred to Castellarin (this vol., Ch. 13).
