Abstract

In southern and central Sardinia two different Cambrian-Lower Ordovician sedimentary belts occur. The former is exposed in southwestern Sardinia (Iglesiente and Sulcis), and is characterized by shallow-marine siliciclastic and carbonate sediments settled on a continental shelf with lowangle morphology. The latter, exposed in the Nappe Zone (central and southeastern Sardinia), consists of a thick monotonous sequence of siliciclastic deposits settled in a deeper-water basin.
