Valle (Cretaceous to of Croatia)

Also known as Colonne, Kolone, Bale

Where: Istarska, Croatia (45.0° N, 13.8° E: paleocoordinates 29.6° N, 20.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Hauterivian to Late/Upper Hauterivian (136.4 - 125.5 Ma)

• unnamed formation

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lacustrine - small; lithified, oncoidal, gray rudstone and yellow limestone

• "Subtidal, intertidal and lacustrine limestones" and low-energy deposition covered by higher-energy limestones.
• oncolitic rudstone with bone debris, and thinly laminated limestones with plant, shrimp and fish remains. Some bones...were preserved wholly in a yellow, thinly laminated limestone or with a side of the fossil in this laminated and the other side in a grey, hard oncolitic rudstone.

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Collected by Boscarolli in 1980s-

Collection methods: quarrying, surface (float), surface (in situ), chemical,

Taxonomic list

• Somphospondyli should be re-IDed as Titanosauriformes indet. ref 15476; Both this and the other listing of Titanosauriformes should have Sauropoda indet. with ref 29141 as the original ID, and all others as re-IDs, BUT THE DATABASE CODE STILL WILL NOT LET ME DO THIS.
