Sedimentary facies recognized in the upper portion of the Monte Facito Formation. F1 facies association: (a) carbonate olistoliths (Ol), provided by the bioclastic limestone interval, scattered in a radiolarite–shale matrix; (b) clast-supported carbonate breccias (Csb) recognized at Pezza La Quagliara. The clasts are sustained by a silty reddish matrix. F2 facies association: (c) laminated silt/thin-bedded graded arenites (Sa); (d) detail of the previous facies showing a normal graded and laminated arenite bed; (e) matrix-supported carbonate breccias (Msb). The matrix consists of green-coloured shales. F3 facies association: (f) siliceous marls and shales (Sh); (g) radiolarian cherts (Ch); (h) cherty limestones/shales couplets (Cls). 30 cm long hammer for scale.

The Monte Facito Formation chaotic lithosomes: calcarenite slabs (Cs). (a) Calcarenite slabs alternating with radiolarian cherts at Pezza La Quagliara. Slab I consists of alternating calcarenites and red shales; slab II is mainly made by white-coloured calcarenites alternating with thinly bedded shales. (b) Folds commonly shown by calcarenite slabs facies. (c) Photograph and (d) interpretation of a calcarenite slab draped by siliceous marls and shales (Sh) at Pezza La Quagliara. (e) Photograph and (f) interpretation of a calcarenite slab recognized in the Cappelluzzo area showing a folded and fragmented bed. The original bedding has first been plastically deformed and then fragmented into centimetre-sized clasts. Note that spaces between the fragments have been filled with a carbonate matrix. (g) Photograph and (h) interpretation of faulting and fluidization of the sediments recognized in the calcarenite slabs facies indicating a partial lithification of the sediments at the time of their emplacement.

The Monte Facito Formation chaotic lithosomes: pebbly mudstones (Pm). (a) Pebbly mudstone textural characters exposed at La Cerchiara. Isolated, angular to sub-rounded clasts, provided by the calcarenite–shale interval, enclosed in a predominant or varicoloured shaly matrix. Note the angularity of the clasts, the low degree of sorting and the random orientation of the clasts. Hammer, c. 30 cm long, for scale. (b) Large calcarenite block (outlined by the dashed line) showing a partially preserved stratification. (c) Lens-shaped pebbly mudstone bodies stratigraphically included within a well-stratified cherty succession at Acqua Moricine. (d) Close-up view of the contact between radiolarian cherts and pebbly mudstones. (e) Upright pebbly mudstone body recognized at La Cerchiara showing a marked erosional base. Note how the original shale lamination is perfectly preserved. Note also the inverse gradation characterizing the deposit. (f) Alternating shale packages and conglomerate bodies exposed at the La Cerchiara succession. (g) Detail of the previous picture showing thinly laminated shales draping with an onlap contact (white arrows) the pebbly mudstones. 30 cm long hammer for scale.

The Monte Facito Formation chaotic lithosomes: monomict conglomerate/breccias (Mcb). (a) Monomict breccia recognized at Pezza La Quagliara. Although these deposits show strong similarities to pebbly mudstones, they importantly differ in clast composition. (b) Internal deformation structures shown by monomict conglomerate/breccias. 30 cm long hammer for scale.
