Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Giusberti et al. 2014: The age of the fossiliferous beds is quite debated: Fabiani (1915) referred them to the “Auversian” (=Bartonian), whereas Malaroda (1954) proposed a middle-late Lutetian age. Finally, Barbieri & Medizza (1969) ascribed these problematic beds to the “Cuisian”. In the 19th century, various authors correlated the palm-bearing beds of Vegroni and Praticini with the Oligocene beds cropping out in various localities of the Vicenza Province (e.g., Massalongo, 1858a, b; Molon, 1867; Nicolis, 1884). The entire continental succession of Bolca is clearly in need of a modern stratigraphic revision. | |||||
