|---|---|
| Name and quarry location: | Marmo giallo di Lubiara, from Lubiara, Caprino Veronese, Verona, Veneto, Italy |
| Geological description: | Biomicrite limestone with scattered small bioclasts, slender fractures and stylolites. Sparse large intraclasts suggest it is from a debris-flow deposit. |
| Comments: | The painted number on the back of the specimen indicates a Verona/Vicenza provenance for this pale yellow limestone (see Verona.pdf for more information). Jervis (1889) refers to a quarry at Lubiara working a reddish white compact limestone. The 'marble' quarries in the area are today referred to on local internet sites. |
