Case Catarinicchia section (Pleistocene of Italy)

Where: Italy (37.8° N, 13.0° E: paleocoordinates 37.8° N, 12.9° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Early/Lower Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.8 Ma)

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; sandstone

• coarse-grained sediments (sands or gravelly sands extremely rich in centimetre-sized bioclasts); deposition on mid-shelf current-swept soft bottoms, during cold phases of the Early Pleistocene

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
