The Travenanzes Formation is a Late Triassic (early Carnian, or early Tuvalian in the regional stratigraphy) limestone, marl and dolomite formation in the Southern Limestone Alps in , Italy.[1]

Stratigraphy of the Dolomites
The Travenanzes Formation is conformably overlain by the Dolomia Principale,[2] and overlies the separated by an unconformity. Deposition of the formation took place just after the Carnian Pluvial Event (CPE).[3]
