The Mt Freikofel at the Austria-Italy border is constituted of one of the best, and most complete Devonian sequence of the Carnic Alps (Fig. 1).

Abstract
The Mt Freikofel at the Austria-Italy border is constituted of one of the best, and most complete Devonian sequence of the Carnic Alps (Fig. 1). It was not disrupted by the Variscan and Alpine tectonics, and it is quite easy to follow on the field due to the special morphology of the mount. The sequence is made by seven calcareous formations representing different depositional settings within the lower Palaeozoic Carnic basin. These lithostratigraphic units yield more or less rich conodont faunas that allowed to set a date in terms of conodont biostratigraphy to the whole sequence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
