Seazza Brook (Triassic of Italy)

Where: Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy (46.4° N, 12.9° E: paleocoordinates 24.8° N, 16.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Dolomia di Forni Formation, Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)

• The fossiliferous portion of the Dolomia di Forni Formation was dated to the late middle to late Norian (Alaunian 3-Sevatian) on the basis of its conodont assemblages (Dalla Vecchia, 2014).

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported

• "The boulder lithology (dark grey laminated dolostone) and the local stratigraphy (Dalla Vecchia, 2012), as well as geomorphologic and topographic constraints, indicate that the specimen comes from the lower member of the Dolomia di Forni Formation (sensu Dalla Vecchia, 1991; see also Dalla Vecchia, 2012), possibly from its lower portion."

Size class: macrofossils
