Analyses followed the Gazzi-Dickinson method (Ingersoll et al., 1984). Several grain categories were distinguished, including rock fragments. The petrographic analyses were conducted in 1994 at the Geoscience Department of the University of Padova, by Stefano Sanchetti, using a Carl Zeiss Winkel-Standard Optical microscope with KPL W 12.5X oculars. The objective magnifications were 5x, 10x, 25x, and 40x. The analysis reveals an arkosic or arkosic-lithic composition (Folk, 1980), indicating provenance straddling the fields of the transitional continent and recycled orogen (Dickinson, 1985).9.501440.2592Eastern SardiniaNatural Sciences and Engineering Research Councilhttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000003803863RGPIN-2024
