| Name and quarry location: | Marmo giallo e turchino di Mizzolle, from Mizolle, Val Pantena, Verona, Veneto, Italy |
| Geological description: | Burrowed limestone. The grey matrix is a fossiliferous grain-supported bio-pel micrite limestone. The yellow burrow-filling has subhedral rhombic calcite crystals, appearing peloidal in places. It has stylolites and stylolitised pellet contacts. |
| Comments: | The painted number on the back of the specimen indicates a Verona/Vicenza provenance for this specimen (see Verona.pdf for more information). Jervis (1889) mentions a limestone/marble quarry at Mizzole. Nos. 43, 45 and 48 all contain similar conspicuous rhombic microcrystals of calcite, and are all said to be from Mizzole. |
