The Ivrea-Verbano Zone (Piedmont region - Italy) is known and studied by geologists from all over the world because it literally allows you to travel in the medium-deep continental crust. For these reasons, the multi-day field trip in the Ivrea-Verbano area has become an integral part of the "Metamorphic Petrology" course of the Master's Degree in Environmental Geology and Earth Dynamics (Degree Study Track in Earth Dynamics) of the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padova.

Mud is the main substrate for the microbial biomass of Earth, and as such is intricately woven in with biogeochemical cycles that exert control on the composition of atmosphere and ocean. For petroleum systems, mudstones are essential as source rocks and seals, and more recently also as unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs. In contemporary petroleum geology mudstones are a key resource that we need to be able to read accurately if we are to make correct predictions about the economic viability of hydrocarbon production in sedimentary basins. The first step towards that goal is to abandon long held notions about mud accumulation and embracing new emerging paradigms about energetic and dynamic mud transport and depositional processes. Experimental studies are the key towards that end, and they will be the focus of this presentation. We will examine key experimental studies, their functional premises and experimental outcomes, and what we learn from them about how mudstones may have formed in the past.
