This thesis includes a wealth of cave maps, as well as photos of
the caves and karst morphologies. At the heart of the thesis is the
important discovery of a flank margin cave with speleothem hiatuses
and fossil invertebrate associations. The analysis of the
structural and karst morphological elements surveyed in the main
explored caves in Monti di Capo San Vito has made it possible to
identify both the state of control of the processes of
karstification in tectonic phases during the Plio-Pleistocene
upliftings and the kinematic character of some karstified
structures, linked at two speleogenetic phases. Furthermore, the
surveying of karst forms on the relict sea-cliffs and particularly
the exceptional discovery and dating of marine and continental
incrustations in the Rumena cave, has yielded essential advances in
our knowledge of past climatic events and eustatic level changes in
the Mediterranean, as well as their influence on the evolution of
the coastal belt.
