Where: Bergamo, Italy (45.9° N, 9.7° E: paleocoordinates 7.6° N, 21.0° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Esino Formation, Ladinian (242.0 - 237.0 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: perireef or subreef; limestone

• Massive bioclastic limestones and patch reefs and prepresents the margin of Esino platform facing an intraplatform trough or an open basin to the south.
