Where: Italy (40.2° N, 18.5° E: paleocoordinates 39.4° N, 17.7° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pietra Leccese Formation, Early/Lower Miocene to Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 11.6 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Pietra Leccese Fm, which overlies the Andrano Fm, and is presumably unconformably overlain by the Uggiano la Chiesa Fm (Middle Pliocene). AGE: Upper Burgidalian to lower Messinian, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy; placed by enterer in Early-Middle Miocene on the basis of unknown stratigraphic position and remaneĆ©. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From the "Terra Rossa" level of the Pietra Lecesse Fm.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified conglomerate
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression, replaced with phosphate
