Annual Report 2004 of the Bartonian/Priabonian Boundary Stratotype Working Group The Veneto region in the Southern Alps (NE Italy) is a classical area for the Paleogene Stratigraphy. In particular, the historical stratotype and the parastratotype of the Priabonian (Munier-Chalmas & De Lapparent, 1893) stage are located close to the Priabona and Possagno villages, respectively. However, […]
Annual Report 2005 of the Bartonian/Priabonian Boundary Stratotype Working Group A great wealth of data have been collected on the well-exposed Alano section (Veneto region, NE Italy), a potential candidate for the Upper Eocene GSSP. In particular, the >120 m-thick section is now completely sampled in high resolution for multiple biostratigraphies. The surveyed section spans […]
Annual Report 2006 of the Bartonian/Priabonian Boundary Stratotype Working Group Studies in 2006 focused on the Alano di Piave section (Veneto region, NE Italy), the potential candidate for defining the GSSP of Middle/Upper Eocene, equated to the base of the Priabonian Stage. The Alano section, continuously exposed along the banks of the Calcino Creek, consists […]
Annual Report 2007 of the Bartonian/Priabonian Boundary Stratotype Working Group Tasks of the Italian scientific community were to search for GSSPs of the Middle-Upper Eocene Transition. Investigations on both transitions have been undertaken by a number of researchers from several Italian Universities (i.e. Padua, Ferrara, Urbino, Milan) and CNR Institutes as well as from some […]
