In geological terms, Arzo marble, so-called by those who quarry it, is a form of breccia. This polychrome sedimentary rock originated on the sea beds of a large ocean situated between the primitive African and European continents.
The importance of the Arzo Quarries has been internationally recognised for some time, as demonstrated by the numerous scientific publications on the tectonic phases, and paleogeography of the Alps, as well as on the rich and unique fossiliferous deposits dating back to the Triassic era.
Quarrying activity can therefore be attributed with uncovering this natural monument, making it available for scientific research and to the general population.
