Abstract

We summarize the results of our ongoing investigation of the chemical\nabundances in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (Sgr dSph) and in the\nCanis Major Overdensity (CMa). 12 RGB stars were analyzed in the Sgr dSph, plus\n5 in the associated globular Terzan 7, together with three CMa candidate\nmembers. Detailed abundances have been derived for up to 23 elements from\nOxygen to Europium.\n
