Ofiolite di Sasso Puzzino, Renno, Pavullo nel Frignano, Provincia di Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italia


Metagabbro outcrop cut in two by Rio del Tufo.

The eastern hillock (on the left bank - see coordinates) is characterised by the presence of datolite; the western hillock (on the right side) tipically yields natrolite, analcime, talc, quartz, prehnite, and rarely malachite and azurite.
