Summary

The red, pelagic limestones of the Rosso Ammonitico Veronese (Upper Bajocian-Tithonian) of the Altopiano di Asiago area can be subdivided into eight facies. They differ from each other in structure (bedding style, presence and type of nodularity) and texture (nature of components, grain-vs mud-support, compactional features). Several discontinuities could be recognized, based on sedimentological or biostratigraphic evidence. In the context of a drowned platform, where sediments essentially consist of skeletal remains of both planktonic and benthic organism, the different facies are interpreted as reflecting a varying influence of currents on the winnowing of micrite and on triggering early cementation. Early cementation in turn, controlled the patterns of bioturbation and the response of sediments to later compaction and pressure-dissolution. At times, microbial mats, of unidentified nature, were important in trapping and binding sediment, giving rise to early lithified nodules and layers of stromatolitic aspect.

The Rosso Ammonitico Veronese can be subdivided into three units: lower Rosso Ammonitico (RAI: Upper Bajocian-Lower Callovian), middle Rosso Ammonitico (RAM: Upper Callovian-Middle Oxfordian), and upper Rosso Ammonitico (RAS: Lower Kimmeridgian-Tithonian). Frequent ammonite moulds allow the precise dating of the base and top of each unit, and the documentation of facies heteropies and hiatusses in the more fossiliferous RAS. The lower unit (RAM) is massive and essentially nodular; the middle unit (RAM) is well bedded, non-nodular, and cherty; the upper unit (RAS) is richer in clay and typically nodular. The RAI and the RAS are present everywhere, though significant facies and thickness changes affect particularly the RAS; the RAM is much more variable, ranging from 0 to 10 metres. These variations, that may be gradual or abrupt, are inter-preted as the result of Middle-Late Callovian block-faulting which generated an irregular sea floor topography where the swells were more exposed to currents that continuously removed sediments, inducing long-lasting periods of nondeposition. Sediments preferentially accumulated in the adjacent lows. A confirmation of this hypothesis is provided by evidence of synsedimentary tectonics, described for the first time in the Rosso Ammonitico Veronese. Neptunian dykes, both vertical and horizontal, are developed at the top of the RAI and are filled with laminated sediments or collapse breccias. Glides of metre-size blocks and slumps are present at the top of the RAI and at the base of the RAM, respectively. Cm-thick layers of mud supported breccias are intercalated in the upper part of the RAI and within the RAM: they are interpreted as seismites. All these features document a tensional regime that generated fractures in more or less lithified sediments and failure along steep fault scarps or gently dipping slopes of tilted fault blocks. Recognition of this Callovian-Oxfordian tectonic activity shows that, after the Bajocian drowning, the Trento Plateau did not simply experience a uniform and general foundering: a small-scale block-faulting was still active and affected the pattern of facies distribution.
