It would be absolutely wonderful to add an excursion of nearby Alpe Sponda/PIzza Forno to discuss the Kyanit-Staurolit metamorphism. Also, what are the rock types in the layers of the great fold at Campolungo pass, and which layers are older/younger? And, how many phases of deformation took place to create the structure we can see today?
Hi, maybe we can cover Alpe Sponda another time - at the moment there are no videos planned on alpine geology... next we will produce a new video series on magmatism. but this will take some time;) regarding your questions: the fold is mainly made of dolomite marble and tremolite/phlogopite-bearing dolomite marble. regarding the phases of deformation I cannot really help you. I am no expert on that. However, you can check the explanations to the geological map of Campolungo. You can find them here: shop.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/karten/geologische-karten/erlaeuterungen-zum-geologischen-atlas-der-schweiz-25000 just search for "1252" and then download the "1252 Ambrì-Piotta" file. It is available in German or Italian. Hope this helps!
Komplexes Thema sehr verständlich erklärt. Super. Danke!
