The north and west slopes of the Marmolada Group are made of pale limestones, rich in fossils, known as "Calcare del Latemar" and "Calcare della Marmolada" (Upper Anisian-Ladinian age), derived, respectively, from an ancient carbonate platform and clast deposits along the slope of the same platform.
An interesting study has been performed on peculiar material observable on the northen slope at the glacier front (Pian dei Fiacconi). It consists of a network of decimeter-sized globular masses, which are coated and linked to each other by large amounts of fibrous cements, arranged in concentric bands. These cements form more or less isolated or laterally linked bodies, called "evinosponges". EDS microanalyses revealed that these fibrous cements consist of calcite containing 1-3 mol% of Mg and detectable amounts of Sr. The boundaries between the fibrous calcite bands are marked by alignments of microcrystalline aggregates of fluorapatite and/or dolomite (Russo et al., 2006).
