Dolomia Principale
Main Dolomite (german: Hauptdolomit, hu, Fődolomit, it, Dolomia Principale) is a lithostratigraphic unit in the Alps of Europe. Formation was defined by K.W. Gümbel in 1857. Middle to Late Triassic sedimentary record in the Alpine realm is characterized by presence of various masses of dolomitic rock formations. In the Northern Calcareous Alps the dolomitic mass of Ladinian - Norian age is divided by the Carnian sandstones and shales of Lunz Formation to the Ladinian - Carnian Wetterstein Dolomite and Norian Main Dolomite.Tollmann, A., 1976: Analyse des klassischen nordalpinen Mesozoikums, Wien, Franz Deuticke, 580 pp. The Main Dolomite reaches higher thickness than underlying dolomites in Alps, therefore it is considered as more important "Main". Extent The formation is found in: * the Northern Limestone Alps and Southern Limestone Alps of the Limestone Alps, a mountain system of the western and Central Eastern Alps. * the Apennines in Italy * the Western Carpathians (Tat ...

Southern Limestone Alps
The Southern Limestone Alps ( it, Alpi Sud-orientali, german: Südliche Kalkalpen), also called the Southern Calcareous Alps, are the ranges of the Eastern Alps south of the Central Eastern Alps mainly located in northern Italy and the adjacent lands of Austria and Slovenia. The distinction from the Central Alps, where the higher peaks are located, is based on differences in geological composition. The Southern Limestone Alps extend from the Sobretta- Gavia range in Lombardy in the west to the Pohorje in Slovenia in the east. Alpine Club classification Ranges of the Southern Limestone Alps according to the Alpine Club classification (from east to west): * Pohorje (1) * Kamnik–Savinja Alps (2) * Karawanks (3) * Julian Alps (4) * Gailtal Alps (5) * Carnic Alps (6) * Southern Carnic Alps (7) * Dolomites (8) * Fiemme Mountains (9) * Vicentine Alps (10) * Nonsberg Group (11) * Brenta Group (12) * Garda Mountains (13) * Ortler Alps (14) * Adamello-Presanella Alps (15) * Sobretta ...
