Name and quarry location: | Astracane di Verona, lumchella di Verona, from Verona, Veneto, Italy |
Geological description: | Limestone. Molluscan biosparite crowded with whole and fragmentary brachiopods (probably terebratulids) and bivalves which are replaced by sparry calcite. It contains a few gastropods and has stylolites. |
Comments: | The Monte Rossa to which Corsi refers, is in the Euganean Hills, but the rocks there are volcanic. This specimen is a typical lumachella di Verona, the locality also indicated by the painted number on the back of the specimen (see Verona.pdf for more information). It is one of a number of specimens that reveal Corsi’s confusion about localities in the Veneto region. |
