This formation was deposited within a tropical lagoon environment, similar to modern Bahamas which was protected by oolitic shoals and bars from the open deep sea located to the east (Belluno Basin) and towards the west (Lombardia Basin). It is characterized by a rich paleontological content. It is notable mostly thanks to its great amount of big aberrant bivalves, among which is the genus ''Lithiotis'', described in the second half of the nineteenth century. The unusual shape of ''Lithiotis'' and ''Cochlearites'' shells, extremely elongated and narrow, characterized by a spoon-like body space placed in a high position, rarely preserved, seems to suggest their adaptation to soft and muddy bottoms with a high sedimentation rate.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Masseti |first1=D. |last2=Posenato |first2=R. |last3=Bassi |first3=D. |last4=Fungagnoli |first4=A. |date=2005 |title=The Rotzo Formation (Lower Jurassic) at the Valbona Pass (Vicenza Province) |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/292707238 |journal=IRIS Università degli Studi di Ferrara |volume=31 |issue=5 |pages=35–56 |access-date=3 January 2022}}</ref> The Bellori outcrop displays about 20 m of limestones with intercalated clays and marls rich in organic matter and sometimes fossil wood (coal) and amber.

The Early Jurassic Calcari Grigi Group represents the shallow-water sedimentation phase of the Trento Platform, revealing several sites over an area of about 1,500&nbsp;km².

The Coste dell'Anglone ichnosite for example, situated on the margin of this lagoon within a sandy barrier complex, was influenced by pioneer plants like Hirmeriellaceae in semi-arid conditions. Sedimentary structures indicate a shallow water tidal environment with heterolithic stratification pointing to steady flows at low current velocities. The presence of dinosaur tracks and supratidal markers suggests repeated subaerial exposure, contrasting with previous interpretations of the site as fully subtidal.<ref name=":3" /><ref name="Kayenta" />

These findings align with the lagoon-barrier island complex scenario, featuring a subtidal ramp gently inclined to the west and an intertidal-supratidal barrier island complex trending approximately N-S, now corresponding to the Mt. Brento-Biaina and Mt. Baldo chains.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3" />

== Invertebrates == Microfossils of the Rotzo Formation consist of benthic foraminifera, calcareous algae, Ostracoda and coprolites. Foraminifera are mainly benthic agglutinated species belonging to the superfamily Lituolacea (suborder Textulariina), while lamellar and porcellaneous-walled species are very rare.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Monaco |first1=P. |last2=Giannetti |first2=A. |title=Stratigrafia tafonomica nel Giurassico inferiore dei Calcari Grigi della Piattaforma di Trento |journal=Atti Ticinensi di Scienze della Terra |date=2001 |volume=42 |issue=1 |pages=175–209 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233741320 |access-date=3 January 2022}}</ref> The bivalve ''Opisoma excavatum'' is very common.<ref name="Opis">{{cite journal |last1=Posenato |first1=R. |title=Opisoma excavatum Boehm, a Lower Jurassic photosymbiotic alatoform-chambered bivalve |journal=Lethaia |date=2013 |volume=46 |issue=2 |pages=424–437 |doi=10.1111/let.12020 |bibcode=2013Letha..46..424P |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257390499 |access-date=3 January 2022}}</ref>

===Ichnofossils=== On the local limestone deep burrowing is a very common type of biogenic activity, as is shown due to the presence of a large characteristic network of burrows which reach down to the lagoonal, marly-clayey assigned strata, suggesting intense bioturbation by large unknown organisms, perhaps giant decapod crustaceans (probably members of the family Erymidae), although, the burrows found are not closely related to the ones of Shrimps or other decapods, but resemble those of Stomatopoda and Malacostraca.<ref name=Monaco2/> {| class = "wikitable" |- !
