Abstract

An approximately 15-km-thick segment of the Mesozoic passive continental margin of Adria was involved in Alpine shortening and is now exposed in the Lake Como-Lake Lugano area (southern Alps, northern Italy and southern Switzerland). The segment comprises the Monte Generoso basin, a deep (~9 km) extensional basin controlled by the activity of the Lugano-Val Grande normal fault. The paleosurface and Mesozoic geometric relations are well preserved so that the kinematics of fault blocks prior to, during, and after extension are well constrained. Rb/Sr,
