The Monte Fumaiolo Formation has been correlated with two foraminiferal zones [204, 205]: (1) the Praeorbulina glomerosa zone (subzone P. sicana, starting at 16.4 Ma [20, 206]); and (ii) the Orbulina suturalis-Globorotalia (Fohsella) peripheroronda (subzone O. suturalis, 15.1–14.7 Ma [20, 206]), giving a total age range of 16.4–14.7 Ma.
