"“朋友,告诉我一些事。你有没有在惨淡的月光下与魔鬼共舞过?”"

12月6日的前夜属于克朗普斯,阿尔卑斯山民间传说中一种野兽般的恶魔 - 而且在多洛米蒂山脉的一些岩石上可以找到奇怪的痕迹 - 类似于异常大的裂蹄的印记。

古老的故事讲述了这些秘密的地方,女巫、巫师和小恶魔聚集在一起狂野地跳舞 - 午夜时分,魔鬼本人会伪装成黑山羊出现。但在日出时,即使是最强大的邪恶力量也必须返回地狱 - 在岩石上只留下魔鬼蹄印的印记作为可怕的提醒。

地质学家将这些奇怪的蹄状图形解释为Megalodus的大型已灭绝双壳类动物的横截面,但是,魔鬼最大的诡计难道不是让世界相信他不存在吗……

My name is David Bressan and I'm a freelance geologist working mainly in the Austroalpine crystalline rocks and the South Alpine Palaeozoic and Mesozoic cover-sediments in the Eastern Alps. I graduated with a project on Rock Glaciers dynamics and hydrology, this phase left a special interest for quaternary deposits and modern glacial environments. During my research on glaciers, studying old maps, photography and reports on the former extent of these features, I became interested in history, especially the development of geomorphologic and geological concepts by naturalists and geologists. Living in one of the key area for the history of geology, I combine field trips with the historic research done in these regions, accompanied by historic maps and depictions. I discuss broadly also general geological concepts, especially in glaciology, seismology, volcanology, palaeontology and the relationship of society and geology.
