Where: Italy (45.5° N, 11.2° E: paleocoordinates 39.2° N, 9.6° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: CP14a nannofossil zone, Lutetian (47.8 - 41.3 Ma)

• Simultaneous presence of Reticulofenestra umbilicus and Chiasmolithus solitus indicates that the assemblage belongs to the Biozone CP14a of Okada & Bukry (1980) and thus suggests a Lutetian age. (Note: this would be latest Lutetian; PJW.)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, shelly/skeletal, yellow limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Repository: Nicolis collection and Palermo (specimens cannot be found, according to Dieni, 2012)
