p.419: The Lago Nero slice

The intermediate slice, which is mainly exposed in the basin of Lago Nero (see fig. 3), is entirely made up of metamorphic rocks; namely, phyllites, banded metabasics with interlayered transposed dykes of intermediate composition, and fine-grained paragneisses with minor orthogneisses and impure quartzites.
