Abstract
The Carnic Alps represents the non- to low-grade metamorphic portion of the Variscan substratum of the Alps (VAI 1976, SCHÖNLAUB 1979). The whole “pre-flysch” Variscan succession of the Carnic Alps is thought to have developed in correspondence of a mainly carbonate platform not deeper than few hundred meters. Up to the Pragian, the basin physiography can be roughly schematized as a ramptype, while from the Pragian to Famennian differential carbonate growth controlled by tectonics led to a differentiation between shallow water facies, high-density and low density resedimented gravitative driven deposits and deeper water facies. The study area of the M. Pizzul is located in the central part of the Carnic Alps, south of Cason di Lanza Pass and east of Mt. Zermula.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
