Abstract

The Triassic to Lowermost Jurassic mudrocks from continental redbeds of the Longi-Taormina Unit (Calabria-Peloritani Arc; southern Italy) have been mineralogically, chemically and petrographically analyzed, in order to reveal their complex history, which record an important phase of the geological evolution of the Mediterranean area.
