Stratigraphy
Formation:Chiusole
Stratigraphy comments: Occurs within zones NP13 and CP11 based on microfossil assemblage analysis
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "limestone"
Lithology description: a package of laminated dark-brown and gray hard limestones (ca. 30 cm thick). Small pyrite nodules occur just below the base of the level, subdivided into 3 beds 10 cm thick. It corresponds to the fish and plant-bearing interval
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: Based on fish taxa present, inferred to be open marine basin with a depth most probably greater than 300 m

Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:all microfossils
Reason for describing collection:general faunal/floral analysis
Taxonomic list comments:many microfossil groups sampled through local section, at different stratigraphic levels.
