(1989) :
The Canavese Zone between the Serra d*Ivrea and the Dora Baltea River (Western Alps). Eclogae geol. Helv. 82/2, 413-417
p.422: Along the western side of Lago Pistono, close to the contact with the Ivrea
granulile, two very small outcrops of schists are exposed. These Lago Pistono Schists consist of cm-thick grey, non fossiliferous limestone with micritic appearance, interbedded with shale, both affected by the Alpine deformation and locally grading into mylonite (see section 6). Lago Pistono schists may be correlated with Bio' schists and the shale and limestone of Levone (Levone Shales of Sturani 1975), considered to be Malm in age, because of the occurrence of interbedded red radiolarian cherts.
