Geography
| Country: | Italy |
| Coordinates: | 38.3° North, 15.2° East (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 38.2° North, 15.2° East |
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Quaternary | Epoch: | Pleistocene |
| Stage: | Gelasian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |
| Key time interval: | Gelasian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 2.58000 - 1.80000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: 3-3.5 m above base. Said to be late Pliocene (but before reassignment of Gelasian to the Pleistocene). Gaetani & Sacca identify foraminifera of zone MPL 4 at 3-3.5 m above the base, which would be mid-Pliocene. However, they also identify planktonic foraminifera of that zone at the Punta Mazza section, which is dated as Gelasian (upper MPL 5 and 6) to Calabrian in more recent papers. According to Borghi et al., this 8 meter thick marl unit belongs to MPL 5 and 6. | |||||
