Abstract
On the basis of several pieces of stratigraphical and structural evide nce, the origin and evolution of the Permian-Carboniferous continental basin cropping out in the Lake Mulargia area, in the nappe zone of So uth-Central Sardinia, are strictly related to extensional post-collisi onal Hercynian tectonics. Particularly, the basin developed in corresp ondence with the southeastern periclinal termination of the Monte Grig hini metamorphic ''core-complex'', where active normal faults controll ed the sedimentary processes, as well as the diagenetic evolution of t he Permian-Carboniferous molassic deposits.
