	Ancient Divisions of the Alps
		Rhaetian Alps (Alpes Rhaeticae) derived their name from the Rh_ti, a powerful tribe or nation holding a large tract territory which appears to have extended from the sources of the Thine and the Ticino on the west, to those of the Adige and the Saiza on the east.
		Noric Alps (Alpes Noricae) --- Under this name the entire region lying north of the Drave, and extending thence to the valley of the Danube on the north and the plains of Hungary on the east, was included.
		Carnic Alps (Alpes Carnicae) --- This name was given to the mountain tract lying between the upper Drave and the low country of Friuli.

	South-Eastern Alps
		Almost continuous with the Carnic Alps is a range, very similar in geological structure, which divides the Drave from the northern branch of the Save, and includes the mountains locally known as the Karawankasand the Sulzbacher Alps.
		Throughout these, which may be called the main range of the South-Eastern Alps, palæozonic rocks, probably of carboniferous age, extend in a narrow band for a distance of fully 100 miles, giving place at the eastern extremity to the small granitic mass that forms the hills of the Bacher Gebirge near Marburg.
		On the south side of the main range of the Carnic Alps two mountain masses, mainly formed of Triassic rocks and Dachstein limestone, attain a considerable height in the Monte Cavallo on the west, and the Monte Canin on the east side of Friuli.

	Alps - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Alps
		The eastern Alps rise east of Lake Constance and are chiefly in Austria, but they also include the Bavarian Alps along the German-Austrian border, the Carnic Alps dividing Austria from Italy, the Karawanken Alps bordering on Slovenia (where they are known as the Dinaric Alps), and the Dolomites in northwest Italy.
		Further north in Switzerland, in the Bernese Alps, are the Finsteraarhorn, the Jungfrau, the Mönch (4,099 m/13,448 ft), and the Eiger, with its sheer north face.
		Summer tourists are attracted to Interlaken and Lucerne on the northern side of the Swiss Alps, Lugano and Locarno in the south, and to the resorts of the Austrian Tirol and Salzburg.

	SummitPost - Carnic Alps -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		The Carnic Alps (Alpi Carniche in Italian, Karnische Alpen in German) are a large mountain range in the Southern Alps, wedged between the Sexten / Sesto Dolomites to the west and the Julian Alps to the east.
		Geologically the Carnic Alps are among the most important and most complex mountain ranges of the Alps (world?), since they are located directly in the region, in which the massive build-up of the Alps occurred ages ago.
		The huts of the Carnic Alps Main Ridge are connected by a well-known hiking trail which often follows the line of the batte in the first world war.

		ORDOVICIAN AND SILURIAN K-BENTONITES FROM THE CARNIC ALPS (AUSTRIA)
		Lower Paleozoic K-bentonites occur in a region of the Carnic Alps that is characterized by a metamorphic overprint ranging from anchizone to epizone.
		The abundant presence of these horizons in the Llandovery sequences of the Carnic Alps is similar to those in the British Isles, Sweden, Canada and North America and documents widespread volcanism related to the closing of the Iapetus Ocean and northward drifting of microplates derived from the northern margin of Gondwana.

		The mountains are bounded by the Dolomites (southwest), the Gail River and the Gailtaler Alpen (north), the Karawanken (east), and the Julian Alps (southeast).
		Composed mainly of limestone, the mountains are bounded by the Fella River and Sella di (Pass of) Camporosso (northwest) and by the Sava River (north and east).
		It rises on the slopes of Mount Peralba in the Carnic Alps near the Austrian frontier and flows southward to the Belluno basin and its gorge at Feltre, where it turns southeast to meander across the Venetian plain, reaching the Adriatic Sea at Cortellazzo, northeast of Venice.

	Geodynamic evolution of the Carnic Alps: Plate tectonic interpretation of the southern margin of the European Variscides
		The Variscan basement of the Carnic Alps is divided into the anchizonal metamorphic central and eastern Carnic Alps and the epizonal metamorphic western Carnic Alps.
		During the Silurian and Devonian, a widespread facies differentiation in the Carnic Alps is typical for extensional tectonism and horst-and-graben structures on continental crust.
		The sedimentation of turbidites in the three flysch basins of the Carnic Alps (Streifwald flysch, Cellon-Kellerwand flysch, Hochwipfel flysch) indicate the beginning of subduction of oceanic or thinned continental crust to the north under an active continental margin which is now represented by the metamorphic domains of the Eastern Alps north of the Periadriatic lineament.

		The valleys of the Alps are areas of year-round settlement; the flatter upland tracts comprise pastures and seasonally inhabited settlements, and the zone above the treeline serves as pasture and for recreation.
		Among the principal ranges are the Maritime, Ligurian, Cottian, and Graian Alps in France and Italy and the Bernese, Glarus, and Pennine (or Valais) Alps in Switzerland.
		Well-known mountain chains of the Eastern Alps are the Bavarian Alps, Algäuer Alps, Hohe Tauern, and Niedere Tauern in the north and the Dolomite and Carnic Alps in the south.

	Alps
		The Alps is the collective name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria in the east, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany, through to France in the west.
		The highest mountain in the Alps is the Mont Blanc at 4808 meters on the French-Italian border.
		The border between the Central Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the so-called Periadriatic Seam.

		Carnic Alps [K] Here the 'Cellon Profil,' 'Rauchkofels,' and 'Plöckengebiet' represent the best-studied Silurian sections from a stratigraphical or paleontological point of view; as well as the Kok Limestone Section on the Italian side of the Carnic Alps.
		Serventi and Gnoli (2000) also pointed out the Silurian faunal affinities between the Carnic Alps and Central Bohemia (Perunica), with 18 of the 21 species in common.
		According to this approach, the greatest faunal similarity is recorded from southwestern Sardinia and the Prague Basin (0.89) followed by Carnic Alps and the last two (0.70).

	Journal of Paleontology: Kirkbyoid ostracodes (Upper Carboniferous) from the Cantabrian Mountains (Spain) and Carnic ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Most of the material from the Carnic Alps was obtained from the Nassfeld Pass area (eastern Carnic Alps), near the Austrian-Italian border, in limestones of the Kasimovian-Gzhelian Auernig Group and the Lower Permian Rattendorf Group.
		The main purpose of this paper is to illustrate the conspicuous similarity between some kirkbyoid ostracodes from the Cantabrian Mountains and Carnic Alps and to describe some species previously designated under open nomenclature due to scarcity of material.
		Upper Carboniferous and Permian ostracodes from silicified limestones of the Auernig and Rattendorf Groups in the Camic Alps have been studied in several papers (Ruggieri and Siveter, 1975; Fohrer, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1997a, 1997b; and Becker and Fohrer, 1990), beginning with the description of the genus Gortanella (Ruggieri, 1966).

	Southern Limestone Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Southern Limestone Alps are the ranges of the Eastern Alps south of the Central Eastern Alps.
		The distinction from the latter group, where the higher peaks are located, is based on differences in geological composition.
		The Southern Limestone Alps extend from the Sobretta-Gavia Alps in Lombardy in the west to the Pohorje in Slovenia in the east.

		The Wolayer carbonate facies in the Carnic Alps (Figure 1), an area that lay close to 50 degrees south latitude in the Late Ordovician (Schönlaub, 1992), bears certain similarities to both modern shelf carbonates and to the Spanish Cystoid Limestone described by Vennin and others (1998).
		Two carbonate facies, the Uggwa and Wolayer, are interbedded within the primarily siliclastic Upper Ordovician stratal sequence in the Carnic Alps (Figure 2).

		The mountains embrace this land from the pre-Alpine chain to the peaks of the Dolomites in Forni and Pesarine, from the Julian Alps to the Carnic Alps stretching up to the 2,780 metres of Mount Coglians, the highest peak in the region.
		These Alps are the eastern continuation of the Carnic pre-Alps and the valley of the mid-Tagliamento river separates them.
		In this sector the same mezosoic elements that are present in the Carnic pre-Alps emerge whereas the cenozoic elements deposited are mainly Flysch-eocenic.

		The Carnic Alps are particularly suited for this study because platform-, slope- and basin carbonates ranging through the entire Devonian occur here in close proximity.
		We hope to achieve tighter age-control by studying the changing composition of lithoclasts and bioclasts in the shelf-derived gravity flow deposits which are frequent in the slope sediments.
		The meeting on Catastrophic Events and Mass Extinctions held in Vienna (July 9 - 12, 2000) was followed by a field trip to the Carnic Alps, where sections of the carbonate platform (Schönlaub and Pohler, 2000) were introduced to field trip participants.
