Where: Italy (45.3° N, 11.7° E: paleocoordinates 41.4° N, 9.7° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Turborotalia cunialensis/Cribrohantkenina inflata foram zone, Marna Euganea Formation, Priabonian (38.0 - 33.9 Ma)
• This association clearly suggests correlation with the Turborotalia cunialensis/Cribrohantkenina inflata Concurrent Range Zone (P 16) of the plankton biostratigraphic scale introduced by Berggren et al. (1995) and particularly the Cribrohantkenina lazzarii/Cribrohantkenina inflata Concurrent Range Subzone proposed by Coccioni et al. (1988). which both indicate a late Priabonian age.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, gray, yellow marl
Size class: mesofossils
Collected by Bitner, Dieni
• Specimens obtained by processing bulk samples (total amount 3 kg) of sediment
•surrounding the basaltic pillows. The process, consisting of disaggregation, washing and screening followed by picking under the microscope.
