Promontorio del Gargano, Provincia di Foggia, Puglia, Italia

The Gargano promontory, the "spur" on the Italian "boot", is a peninsula projecting into the Adiriatic Sea, consisting of a wide mountaim massif geographically isolated from the Apennine ridge.

The backbone of the Gargano Promontory consists of a thick pile (3000–3500 m) of Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous shallow-water carbonates (the so-called Apulia Carbonate Platform). Since the Early Cretaceous the clinostratified surface of the platform has been covered by a basin unit of white micritic limestone — the Maiolica formation (Tithonian-Aptian). The Maiolica formation is one of the most extensive formations in the Gargano area. The micritic limestone is arranged in thin layers, often affected by tectonic alteration and synsedimentary sliding (slumpings). The Maiolica formation contains abundant tabular and nodular flint. A lot of prehistoric flint mines were opened here in the Peschici and Mattinata territories. An interruption of the sedimentation process linked to the carbonate platform is represented by the marly limestone formation (Marne a Fucoidi; Aptian–Albian). Platform sedimentation resumed at the beginning of the Upper Cretaceous and continued for almost all of the Palaeocene. This period saw the Scaglia formation, a Cenomanian-Palaeocene formation of white and powdery micritic limestone with an abundance of flint arranged mainly in fine layers, which was hardly exploited by prehistoric miners. Finally, during the Middle Eocene, the platform margin collapsed and subsequently a Nummulite platform formed (Lutetian-Bartonian). The Nummulite limestone is limited to the north-eastern part of the Gargano Promontory, between Vieste and Peschici. This succession (about 350 m thick, known as the Calcare di Peschici formation) is represented by graded breccias and nummulitic turbidites, alternating with hemipelagic marly mudstones, and underwent only minor tectonic deformations. At the bottom of this formation is a relatively thin series of compact pelagic micritic limestone with high quality flint, generally in the shape of large-size nodules. These were the object of intense mining activities, particularly during the Neolithic.

A small outcrop of Upper Triassic evaporite (Burano Evaporite or Anidriti di Burano Formation) and black Palaeocene volcanics (gabbroic and syenitic rocks with lamprophyric affinity) is present on the northern seashore (Punta delle Pietre Nere). These evaporitic rocks have been encountered also by the oil wells Gargano 1 (Conoco) and Foresta Umbra (AGIP). Alkaline ultramafic rocks also occur at San Giovanni in Pane.

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.
