Description
The Travenanzes Formation is conformably overlain by the Dolomia Principale,Bernardi et al., 2018, p.6 and overlies the Heiligkreuz Formation separated by an unconformity. Deposition of the formation took place just after theCarnian Pluvial Event
The Carnian pluvial episode (CPE), often called the Carnian pluvial event, was an interval of major change in global climate synchronous with significant changes in Earth's biota both in the sea and on land. It occurred during the latter part of ...
