Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unnamed lithostratigraphic unit. AGE: Interpreted by Lecointre et al (1967) as Tyrrhenian I=Ouljian (Late Pleistocene). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From fossiliferous sandy, which is overlain by a deposit containing pieces of lava and terrestrial molluscs. Fossils extend to an elevation of 8 m. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | shelly/skeletal unlithified calcareous sandstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Fossiliferous sand, containing pulverized coralline algae. LITHIFICATION: No stated, but figured specimens appear to come from unlithified sediments. | |
| Environment: | coastal indet. |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Interpreted by Lyell (c. 1835) as deposited in 30 m of water depth, but regarded by Lecointre et al (1967) as accumulating in 8 m of water depth. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | surface (in situ),field collection | ||
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis | ||
| Museum repositories: | MNHN | ||
| Collectors: | Lecointre & Richards | Collection dates: | 1962-1963 |
| Collection method comments: COLLECTORS: G. Lecointre and H.G. Richards, 1962-1963. REPOSITORY: Laboratoire de Malacologie, Paris Museum (MNHN). | |||
| Taxonomic list comments:COVERAGE: Exhaustive for gastropods and bivalves. NOMENCLATURE: Not an authoritative publication, with somewhat antiquated nomenclature, but with species-resolution identifications.
Meco et al (2002) are critical of the age assignment and taxonomic identifications of Lecointre et al, and suggest that these collections may be contaminated by archeological specimens: "possible errors caused by the mingling of fossils with archaeological remains consumer at the site, or perhaps by intricate synonyms that would be difficult to follow up, or because of incorrect taxonomical determinations, or inaccurate localities in museum collections." | |||
