Geography
| Country: | Italy |
| Coordinates: | 38.1° North, 15.7° East (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 38.0° North, 15.6° East |
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Quaternary | Epoch: | Pleistocene |
| Stage: | Calabrian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |
| Key time interval: | Calabrian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 1.80000 - 0.77400 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The species Hyalinea baltica is present, whereas Globorotalia truncatulinoides is absent, indicating a Early Calabrian age. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | shelly/skeletal poorly lithified sandstone |
| Lithology description: Siliciclastic-carbonate sands, of which the pelitic content increases upward. Poorly lithified based on sampling methods and fossil preservation. | |
| Environment: | offshore |
| Geology comments: The relative abundance of planktonic foraminifers (as compared to benthic taxa) is 36%. According to Wright (1978) this figure points to a circalittoral environment (some 200 m in depth). | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Rock censused: | 10000 cm3 (volume) |
| Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
| Collection method comments: Repository: Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra dell'Università di Napoli Federico II | |
