Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Pietra Leccese | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: 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 Middle Miocene on the basis of stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From biomicritic levels that overlies the phosphatic conglomerate of the Pietra Lecesse Fm. | |||||
