Ingarano cave, layer E (Pleistocene of Italy)

Where: Italy (41.8° N, 15.4° E: paleocoordinates 41.8° N, 15.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• Two meters thick, containing Mousterian remains at its base, constraining succession to no younger than 37-35 ka.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: sinkhole; conglomerate

• Karst filling succession within the Jurassic-Cretaceous limestone of the "Calcare di Sannicandro" Formation, probably representing the infilling of a sinkhole, the structure of which is no longer visible now that quarry activities have exposed the entire succession.
• Conglomerate with large angular clasts cemented by calcareous matrix

Size class: macrofossils
