  Travenanzes Formation (Italy) | |
The Travenanzes Formation is a Late Triassic (early Carnian, or early Tuvalian in the regional stratigraphy) limestone, marl and dolomite formation in the Southern Limestone Alps in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
Description
The Travenanzes Formation is conformably overlain by the Dolomia Principale, and overlies the Heiligkreuz Formation separated by an unconformity. Deposition of the formation took place just after the Carnian Pluvial Event (CPE).
