Record of a sea level drop in the lower Mississippian limestones near Passo di Monte Croce Carnico (Carnic Alps, Italy)
Journal: Geologica Acta
Year: 2025

The lower Carboniferous succession of the Carnic Alps represents the best-preserved example of such stratigraphic interval within the Alps, thus providing crucial insights for paleogeographic and paleoclimatic reconstructions. This research focuses on the combined biostratigraphic and sedimentological analyses of a stratigraphic section near Passo di Monte Croce Carnico (central Carnic Alps). The presence of two polygonal sedimentary structure-bearing levels suggests a sea level drop. Conodont b
