DISCOVER DOLOMITES AND NATURE
The rock of S. Croce massif is calcareous and it traces milions of years back.
Many studies were made on this dolomitic rock.
The Dolomites, that is in this very place, S. Croce Rock are of calcareous and
coralline origin. They get their name from the french geologist Déodate Guy Silvane
Tancrède de Grandet, Sir of Dolomieu, which discovered them at the end of the 17th Century.
The Tetis, a warm and swallow sea, covered this very place more than two hundred milions of
years ago, In this very place. Over the years mineral and organic depots started to form in
the terziaria età rocks.
The first glaciazione, which occured two millions of years ago covered the whole territory with
ice. From that time alternated poahses of warmyth and cold gave the rocks gave them the shape we
know today, twelve thousand years ago. Climatic factors contributed to form then and give
the particular shape the onlyone in the world.
The dolomitic rock called "dolomia" is rich of fossili and
minerals. These minerals give the dolomites their particular range of colors from pink to
flashy yellow to grey.
At dawn these colors allow a brathtaking view.
This phenomenon called "enrosadira" by locals, gave way to many legenda and
misteries unique. And the S. Croce rock breattaking view.
