Geography
| Country: | Italy |
| Coordinates: | 45.5° North, 11.6° East (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 45.5° North, 11.6° East |
| Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Quaternary | Epoch: | Pleistocene |
| Stage: | Late/Upper Pleistocene | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |
| Key time interval: | Late/Upper Pleistocene | ||
| Age range of interval: | 0.12900 - 0.01170 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The cave provided one radiocarbon date on an Ursus spelaeus rib, coming from the lower portion of Layer 1, which gave a conventional age of 29,001 ± 123 14C BP (33,597 to 32,844 cal. BP). Thus, the deposits in situ of the Buso Doppio del Broion Cave, below the upper reworked sediments, represent a time span including the end of MIS 3 and the onset of the LGM | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "siliciclastic" |
| Lithology description: Layer 2 consists of lenses limited only to squares B7 and C7 and is formed by loamy aeolian sediment with scarce limestone stones. | |
| Environment: | cave |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
| Collection method comments: Repository: Sezione di Scienze Preistoriche e Antropologiche of the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici of the University of Ferrara | |
