Note illustrative della Carta geologica delle Prealpi bresciane tra la V. Vrenda e il M. Pizzocolo. Explanation notes of the geological map of the Brescian Prealps between Val Vrenda and M. Pizzocolo.

The geological map of the V. Vrenda-M. Pizzocolo area (1:25.000) is the partial result of studies carried out for several years and that are still in progress in the Brescian Prealps. The explanatory text briefly describes the different rock formations as well as Quaternary informal units and it is completed by a long bibliographical list which can supply further information to enhance the geological knowledge and the regional description of this area. Several variations have modified the previous cartography and the new data introduce elements to reinterpret the paleogeographic evolution of the area. New data allows an updating of the tectonic evolution of the Prealps; the Quaternary deposits have been distinguished into several informal stratigraphic units. Geomorphological symbols complete the map: karst features, fluvial erosional cliffs, moraine ridges and other glacial and fluvioglacial features have been mapped, as well as gravel and limestone quarries.
