Supplementary Material 3 for Tosi et al.: Three-dimensional analysis of the Plio-Pleistocene sequence in the Venice Lagoon (Italy)
For large part of this period the Venice area was the boundary between two distinct depositional systems: the Alpine to the North and the Apennines to the South. Figure 2S illustrates the relationship between depositional sequences defined by Ghielmi et al. (2010) for the North Apennine foredeep and the seismic sequences described in the present paper for the Venice Lagoon area. The Venice Lagoon represents the foreland ramp and the foreland for the Apennine chain and therefore it has been reached only by the more distal portion of the turbidity deposits. 

Figure 2S.  PL and PS are the sequences described by Ghielmi et al. (2010), PLC and PLS are from this paper, Me: Messinian unconformity.
Correlation based on seismic profiles running from the lagoon into the foredeep indicate that PS-1 from Ghielmi et al. (2010) corresponds to PLS-1, while PS-2 corresponds to PLS-3, PLS-4 and PLS-5. According to Ghielmi et al. (2010), PS-1 and PS-2 belongs to the Allogroup LP (late Pliocene–Pleistocene). This allogroup  is correlated with complete deformation of the Ferrara folds in the Gelasian and the onset of a new foredeep basin in the eastern Veneto and northern Adriatic Sea, with the sedimentation of the highly-efficient turbidites of ‘‘outer’’ Porto Garibaldi and Carola Fms. During the middle Pleistocene the Po Plain progradation (sequence PLS-4) leads to the complete filling of the foreland basin.
