Program:
The trip will focus both on the ultra-alkaline volcanic centers of Umbria and
Latium and on the Monte Vulture volcano in Basilicata. The Umbria and Latium
volcanism includes numerous small eruptive centres characterized by the presence
of extrusive carbonatites, melilite-bearing rocks, and kamafugites. The
extrusive carbonatite occurrence of Monticchio is only one of the features we
will see at Monte Vulture volcano. The two days of Monte Vulture trip will be
focused on the growth and the breakdown of this volcano and on the relationships
between its primary and epiclastic deposits.
Day 1 : Travel by bus from Perugia to Lavello. On the road, stop at San Venanzo
maar (30 km S-SW from Perugia). After dinner, briefing on the Monte Vulture
geology, in the conference hall of the Hotel San Barbato.
Day 2 : From the first volcanic episodes to the grown of the Vulture-San Michele
main edifice. Stop 1: Fara d’Olivo; 2: Sant’Antonio- Rionero statigraphic
sequence; 3: Mele-Madonna di Costantinopoli quarry; 4: Gaudianello sequence; 5:
Melfi hauynophyre
Day 3 : The breakdown of the volcano and the tectonic-controlled ascent of the
deeply generated magmas of the Monticchio phase. Stop1: Ventaruolo quarry
statigraphic sequence 2: Ciaulino centres 3: Case Lopes quarry; 3: Laghi di
Monticchio maars; 4: Monticchio carbonatites.
