Calcari a coralli

Returning to the main road, you proceed short way (about 300 m) and go towards the Rifugio Marini. Take the little road to the "Rifugio Marini" and you will see a really interesting and beautiful outcrop rock (P.O. 3), consisting of grey coral limestone. These rocks derive from the lithification of an old coral reef (age: Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous) that was in a marine shallow water environment. There are mainly large coral branched colonies (one metre and a half) and look like coral living in an actual tropical reef.
