Name and quarry location: | Pomorolo di Mizzolle, from Mizolle, Val Pantena, Verona, Veneto, Italy |
Geological description: | Brecciated fine-grained limestone crowded with rhombohedral microcrystals of calcite. It has prominent stylolites. Dark brown areas are wax filler. |
Comments: | The painted number on the back of the specimen indicates a Verona/Vicenza provenance for this yellow limestone (see Verona.pdf for more information). Mizzole, in Val Pantena, is almost certainly correct; Jervis (1889) refers to a limestone/marble quarry at Mizzole. Nos. 43, 45 and 48 all contain similar conspicuous subhedral-euhedral microcrystals of calcite, and are all said to be from Mizzole. |
