Abstract

A fossil erosive subduction channel (the shear zone marking the plate boundary) preserved in the Northern Apennines of Italy is identified. The fossil zone records the presence of two décollements which seem to have been simultaneously active at the top and base of the subduction channel. In modern subduction zones the onset of seismic activity is believed to occur at ∼150° C, however in the fossil channel the onset seems to have occurred at colder temperatures.
