“…It is also well established that such soft rocks could play a similar role in the initiation of DSLs. Indeed, this context, in which a thick layer of limestone overlies mudstone and gypsum substratum, gives rise to a huge mechanical contrast that favors initiation and development of gravitational processes (Nemcok et al, 1972;Baron et al, 2004;Maffei et al, 2005;Esposito et al, 2007;Pánek et al, 2009a).…”

“…The most important effect of the frequent seismic activity is the progressive increase in the rock fatigue, with the formation and subsequent weathering of failure planes (Friedmann et al, 2003;Brideau et al, 2009;Parker et al, 2013;Preisig et al, 2015;Gischig et al, 2016). Where these intersect, rock dissolution and the formation of caves is favored (Filipponi et al, 2009;Sauro et al, 2013), further weakening the mechanical properties of rocks (Pánek et al, 2009;Gutierrez et al, 2014).

Abstract. The “Masiere di Vedana” rock avalanche, located in the Belluno Dolomites (NE Italy) at the foot of the Mt. Peron, is re-interpreted as Historic on the base of archaeological information and cosmogenic 36Cl exposure dates. The deposit is 9 km2 wide, has a volume of ~ 170 Mm3 correspondings to a pre-detachment rock mass of ~ 130 Mm3, and a maximum runout distance of 6 km and an H / L ratio of ~ 0.2. Differential velocities of the rock avalanche moving radially over different topography and path-material lead to the formation of specific landforms (tomas and compressional ridges). In the Mt. Peron crown the bedding is subvertical and includes carbonate lithologies from lower Jurassic (Calcari Grigi Group) to Cretaceous (Maiolica) in age. The proximal deposit is made of Calcari Grigi Group limestone, the distal deposit comprises upper Jurassic limestones (Fonzaso Formation, Rosso Ammonitico, and Maiolica), while the middle Jurassic Vajont Limestone dominates the central sector of the deposit. In the release area the bedding, the SSE-vergent frontal thrust planes, the NW-vergent backthrust planes, the NW-SE fracture planes, and the N-S Jurassic fault planes controlled the failure and enhanced the rock mass fragmentation. Cosmogenic 36Cl exposure ages, mean 1.90 ± 0.45 ka, indicate failure occurred between 340 BC and 560 AD. Although abundant Roman remains were found in sites surrounding the rock avalanche deposit, none was found within the deposit, and this is consistent with a Late Roman or early Middle Age failure. Seismic and climatic drivers are discussed. Over the last few hundred years, earthquakes up to Mw 6.3 including that at 365 AD, affected the Belluno area. Early in the first millennium, periods of climate worsening with increasing rainfall are known in the NE Alps. The combination of climate and earthquakes induced progressive long-term damage to the rock. The present Mt. Peron crown shows hundreds of meters-high rock prisms bound by backwall trenches, suggesting a potential landslide hazard for the whole mountain belt north of Belluno affected by the same structural characteristics.
