Geography
| Country: | Italy | State/province: | Lazio |
| Coordinates: | 41.7° North, 13.2° East (view map) | ||
| Paleocoordinates: | 41.7° North, 13.1° East | ||
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark |
Time
| Period: | Quaternary | Epoch: | Pleistocene |
| Stage: | Gelasian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |
| Key time interval: | MN 17 | ||
| Age range of interval: | 2.58 - 1.8 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: Late Pliocene, Late Villanyian, similar age to St Vallier. |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | fine sandstone |
| Lithology description: At CSG, the sequence is composed by laminated medium- to fine-grained yellowish sands with Fe-Mn coatings and massive fines with CaCO3 nodules in the upper part (Bellucci et al. 2014). | |
| Environment: | "floodplain" |
| Geology comments: The overall mammal assemblage is indicative of river channels in a flood plain, surrounded by a mix of different environments with both savannahs and wooded areas (Bellucci et al. 2014; Strani et al. 2018). This is evidence of an environmental shift towards a more open landscape, if compared with the more forested and swampy sce-nario suggested by data from the lowermost part of the sequence. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
