Marna di Possagno Formation (Eocene of Italy)

Where: Italy (46.2° N, 13.4° E: paleocoordinates 42.2° N, 11.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Marna di Possagno Formation, Priabonian (38.0 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Marna di Possagno Fm, which overlies the Scagkua cinerea (Lutetian), and is overlain by the Calcare di St Guistina (Priabonian). THICKNESS: Formation ranges t=from ~450-600 m in thickness. AGE: Priabonian, according to the text. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Presumably a composite checklist for the formation in this area.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; shelly/skeletal, argillaceous siltstone

• ENVIRONMENT: Inner shelf (1-72 m), subtropical, fully marine.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Argillaceous fossiliferous siltstone. LITHIFICATION: Unknown.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Unknown, possibly multiple collectors. REPOSITORY: Unknown.
