In this paper preliminary results of investigations on the stratigraphic succession of the Permian Mulargia Lake basin are here described. This succession, from 350 to 400 m thick, has been first time subdivided into 4 stratigraphic units, and respectively, from the bottom: a “Lower siliciclastic Unit”, a “Volcano-sedimentary Unit”, an “Upper siliciclastic Unit”, and a “Volcanic Unit”. The depositional frame of this succession is inferred as a network of alluvial facies of various energy degrees, comprised between the palustrine, the fluvial and the lacustrine environments. These facies are located into a continental molassic basin, progressively spreading out during the post-collisional extensional Variscan tectonic phase, and characterized, during its evolution, by two different volcanic activity cycles.

Abstract
In this paper preliminary results of investigations on the stratigraphic succession of the Permian Mulargia Lake basin are here described. This succession, from 350 to 400 m thick, has been first time subdivided into 4 stratigraphic units, and respectively, from the bottom: a “Lower siliciclastic Unit”, a “Volcano-sedimentary Unit”, an “Upper siliciclastic Unit”, and a “Volcanic Unit”. The depositional frame of this succession is inferred as a network of alluvial facies of various energy degrees, comprised between the palustrine, the fluvial and the lacustrine environments. These facies are located into a continental molassic basin, progressively spreading out during the post-collisional extensional Variscan tectonic phase, and characterized, during its evolution, by two different volcanic activity cycles.
