Where: Puglia, Italy (41.7° N, 15.8° E: paleocoordinates 27.9° N, 19.7° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Sannicandro Formation, Kimmeridgian to Kimmeridgian (157.3 - 145.0 Ma)
• The original quarry in which the blocks came from in unkown.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; dolomitic limestone
•Block B: The lower part of this block is characterized by the presence of thin lamination. The middle part shows karst features, while the upper part is comprised of dolomitic limestone without sedimentary structures, probably related to bioturbation of a subtital interval.
•Block C: This block is characterized by the presence of a breccia bed with irregular geometric featurs, and the lower part is less dolomitized. The other lithofacies are an alternation of massive and laminated dolostone.
Size class: macrofossils
