摘要
Sedimentological studies from the Hikurangi forearc domain (New Zealand) outlined a major unconformity at the Miocene-Pliocene boundary, around 6-4 My ago. This discontinuity marks the transition between two main periods in the evolution of the active margin during the Neogene. The first one is Miocene (about 18-5 My)) and is characterized by a general deepening in water depths, linked to a major subsidence of the whole margin. The second period is Pliocene-Pleistocene (about 4-0 My) and exhibits the formation of a real forearc basin. This basin is an elongated narrow depression between the frontal are (landward) and the Coastal Ranges (seaward) corresponding to the highest ridge of the accretionary wedge.
