Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Iglesias | Formation: | Campo Pisano | Local bed: | GP 9 |
| Local order: | bottom to top | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Loi et al. 1995 summarized the biostraigraphical data for the Iglesias Group. They introduced a subdivision based on trilobites and graptolites from the latest Early Cambrian up to the Early Ordovician. Following this subdivision, the Campo Pisano Formation spans a biostratigraphic interval from the uppermost Early Cambrian until lower part of Middle Cambrian | |||||
