Laga Basin

The Laga Basin is the largest and youngest foreland basin of the Central Apennines fold and thrust belt.^[1] It is Messinian in age and serves as a link between an Early Miocene aged fold and thrust belt at the west of the Central Apennines and a younger belt to the east.^[2] In the 1980s and 1990s, it was the subject of numerous investigations for hydrocarbon resources, and since has become a valuable analogue with relation to clastic reservoirs developed in confined structural settings.^[2]
