| 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. Jervis (1889) refers to a 'mandorla' from a quarry on the side of Monte Baldo by the village of Lubiara. |
