Geological description: | Recrystallised, probably originally bioturbated, micritic or microspar limestone with extensive stylolites and calcite filled fractures. |
Comments: | This is probably the 'corso gentile' of artists referred to by Jervis (1889) from Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella. A very similar stone from this locality is in the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien collection. |
