Abstract
ABSTRACTSedimentological investigations were carried out in the basal clastic rocks of the Brenner Mesozoic in the Stubai Alps. These are Scythian in age and metamorphosed to a greenschist grade. The increase of temperature and pressure from north to south allows the metamorphic effects on Sedimentological features to be gradually traced into higher grade metamorphic areas. The use of various laboratory methods as well as profiling with lithofacies types shows the limitation of using only single methods in sediments suffering thermal and deformational overprint. Only a combined application of different methods allows the extraction of useful sedimentological information.Based on the results of these investigations, a fan delta to shelf succession is proposed for the basal clastic rocks. Petrographic analyses show the relation of the sediments to an underlying weathering horizon.
