Metaserpentinites
They are described for the first time and are present only in Outcrops 2 and 3 (i.e., Punta Cale Gemelle, Cala dei Ladri west, Fig. b above). Such rocks are characterized by green to dark-green colours and often appear strongly foliated due to the orientation of the green amphibole crystals. In Outcrop 3 these rocks are tectonically interposed between the Monzogranite and the overlying Metapelites and Metasandstones.

Metapelites and Metasandstones
These lithotypes form three down-slope dipping bodies (Outcrops 3, 4 and 5) on the very steep coast of Cala dei Ladri area and five smaller outcrops at Punta Rossa (Outcrop 6) (i.e., Cala dei Ladri west to east, Fig. b above).

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Miocene : 7.1 ± 0.2 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
