Where: Italy (38.2° N, 15.6° E: paleocoordinates 38.1° N, 15.5° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Gelasian (2.6 - 1.8 Ma)

• "Pliocene by analogy with the same facies at other localities." If that is the case, then the locality is presumably Gelasian.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: basinal (); lithified, shelly/skeletal, yellow marl

Size class: macrofossils
