Abstract The rocks of the Santa Croce lake region belong to the calcareous southern Alps formed from a lower Triassic sequence. The sediments show a facies change between the reefal series of the Friuli zone to the east and the deep water Belluno zone to the west. The entirely marine series may be divided into two groups: the Liassic to Oligocene beds characterized by the absence of terrigenous sediments with thick limestones; and Eocene to Oligocene terrigenous flysch deposits. The area is part of the Venetian Prealps with east to west structural orientation.
