Geotrail Passo Cason di Lanza – Findenig
The Upper Carboniferous and the Lower Permian are well represented north of the Cason di Lanza Pass with rich fossil records: plants, bivalves, brachiopods, but also large amphibians’ footprints. The upper Permian is well documented by the characteristics red sandstone of the Val Gardena formation. The Devonian, on the other hand, is much more extensively documented in the areas south of the Cason di Lanza Pass but offers spectacular and clearly visible sceneries along the path. The effects of two distinct orogeny can be clearly seen, but it is the more recent glacier modelling that gave the area its current appearance. At some locations along the route, the effects of the karst phenomenon are also distinctly visible, for example in the Devonian limestone of the Cason di Lanza area.
