Name and quarry location: Mandolà di monte Baldo, from Monte Baldo, Verona, Veneto, Italy  
Geological description: Nodular/burrowed bioclast-rich microsparite limestone with stylolites.  
Comments: The painted number on the back of the specimen indicates a Verona/Vicenza provenance for this pink and yellow limestone (see Verona.pdf for more information). Corsi's provenance is correct.
