PALEOZOIC TO EARLY MESOZOIC STRATIGRAPHY AND SEDIMENTARY EVOLUTION OF CENTRAL DOLPO (NEPAL HIMALAYA) by EDUARDO GARZANTI, ALDA NICORA, ANDREA TINTORI

“…The overlying offshore black pelites contain quanzose sandstones and bioclastic limestones at several intervals, indicating deposition in shelfal environments at latest Devonian times. The Carboniferous is poorly represented in the surveyed area. …”

IL CARNICO DI LIERNA (COMO): STRATIGRAFIA E PALEOGEOGRAFIA by EDUARDO GARZANTI, MARCO PAGNI FRETTE

“…The petrographic composition of the Val Sabbia Sandstone points to provenance from an active volcanic chain, but abundance of quartzose detritus and occurrence of perthitic K-feldspar and sedimentary rock fragments suggest extensive erosion of the Hercynian basement and Upper Carboniferous to Ladinian sedimentary cover. These peculiar characteristics confirm the existence of a small "Lierna lobe" separated from the deltaic systems of central Lombardy, and fed by a basement- high located southwest of Como lake.…”

STRATIGRAPHIC SUCCESSION OF THE THAKKHOLA REGION (CENTRAL NEPAL) - COMPARISON WITH THE NORTHWESTERN TETHYS HIMALAYA by EDUARDO GARZANTI, MARCO PAGNI FRETTE

“…The stratigraphic succession of the Thakkhola region (central Nepal) begins in the Cambro-Ordovician with thick shallow-water carbonates, followed in the Siluro-Devonian by pelitic units deposited in deeper-water environments and at much higher accumulation rates with respect to the northwestern Himalaya sequence. During Carboniferous and Permian times, shallow-water limestones and coarse quartzose arenites were deposited, with major unconformities related to the initial opening of Neotethys. …”
