Abstract

In northwestern Sicily large bodies of Triassic carbonate rocks crop out. They display several lithofacies corresponding from shelf to basin environments. Facies analysis during the last three years has allowed the differentiation and the mapping of different lithofacies (Abate and Catalano, 1974; Catalano et al., 1974a, b).
