Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Torrente Meduna Siltstone | ||||
| Local section: | Torrente Meduna | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Miocene Torento-Meduna sequence unconformably overlies the Eocene Clauzetto Flysch (Flysch di Clauzetto) and is composed of Preplans Sandstone, Zouf marl, Rugo Mizza Sandstone, San Martino Calcarenite, Torrente Meduna Siltstone, Maraldi Sandstone, Bier Puddingstone, and Montello Conglomerate. Thickness of the San Martino Calcarenite is approximately 450 m. Sample 12 is from the upper part of the Torrente Meduna. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | brown,gray siltstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: Torrente Meduna Siltstone "poorly bedded grey-brown siltstone, locally with intercalations of silty sand". | |
| Environment: | offshore |
| Geology comments: "The formaniferal assemblages point toward a Serravallian age". | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | all microfossils |
| Collection methods: | bulk,field collection |
| Collection size: | 443 specimens |
| Rock censused: | 30 cm3 (volume) |
| Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
| Collection method comments: Based on single bulk samples, about 30 cubic centimetres each. Grain size data also provided. | |
| Taxonomic list comments:In enterers opinion the taxonomic list is representative of molluscan taxa, however no non-mollusca taxa are detailed. The reference states that formaniferal assemblages are present. | |
