Pre-Alpine and Alpine deformation at San Pellegrino pass (Dolomites, Italy)
In this work, we present the geological map of the San Pellegrino pass, inserted in the
spectacular scenario of the Dolomiti region (Southern Alps, Italy), at a scale of 1:10.000 and
accompanied by geological cross-sections. The detailed distinction of lithological thin units
allowed to achieve a consistent interpretation of the local structural setting by drawing
brittle and ductile Alpine tectonic deformations. The differential deformation and structural
styles within the geological map are the result of the different rheological nature of volcanic
and sedimentary rocks, as well as of the superimposition of compressional Alpine tectonics
over Permo-Mesozoic extensional tectonic phases, and consequent reactivation of inherited
structures
