Torino Hill, Moncucco Torinese, "facies à Congeria", M2014 (Miocene of Italy)

Where: Italy (45.1° N, 7.9° E: paleocoordinates 44.9° N, 7.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: facies à Congeria Formation, Messinian (7.2 - 5.3 Ma)

• Late Messinian

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

• 6.5 m of beige to green-blue clayey marls with calcareous paleosol interbeds. This unit contains shells of dreissenid and limnocardiid bivalves along with melanopsid and hydrobiid gastropods and is an equivalent of the Lago-Mare biofacies of the Mediterranean area
• deeper (maybe slope?) environment with abundant terrigenous influence

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
