Fluid flow and faulting history of the Iano tectonic window (Southern Tuscany, Italy) (original) (raw)

The study examines the Iano tectonic window in Southern Tuscany, focusing on the fluid flow and faulting processes that have shaped this region. It details the identification of high-angle normal faults that are the youngest structures in the area and their role as pathways for hydrothermal fluids, revealed through the analysis of fluid inclusions from quartz veins. The findings suggest a significant evolution of hydrothermal fluids over the Plio-Quaternary period, contributing to a refined understanding of the extensional history of the Volterra basin.
