The stratigraphy of the ODP wells drilled in the Tyrrhenian Basin, and on its western margin in particular, has been backstripped to derive tectonic subsidence curves. Besides the rift related subsidence (upper Miocene--mid-lower Pliocene) on the margin, a recent episode of subsidence (about 2 Ma) has been documented basinwide. Such a recent episode does not fit easily into subsidence models applied to "classic" passive margins. Given the backarc setting of the Tyrrhenian basin, it is likely that processes related to subduction contribute to the shape of the observed tectonic subsidence.
