Rivoli Veronese
Basic information
Sample name: Rivoli Veronese
Reference: C. Berto, E. Luzi, M. Marchetti, A. Pereswiet-Soltan, and B. Sala. 2022. Faunal renewals during the Early Pleistocene on the northern Italian Peninsula: Climate and environment reconstructions inferred from the Rivoli Veronese small mammal assemblage (Adige River valley, Verona, Italy).

Geography
Country: Italy
State: Verona
Coordinate: 45.559601° N, 10.8277° E
Coordinate basis: stated in text
Formation: Calcari Grigi
Time interval: Early Pleistocene
Zone: MN17
Geography comments: Located in an abandoned limestone quarry "at the top of the western slope of the Adige River valley, 18 km NW from Verona (Italy)"
Environment
Lithology: siliciclastic (mixed)
Taphonomic context: fissure fill
Habitat comments: "The fissure's infilling consists of mostly cemented sediments that are chaotically arranged and composed of large blocks, smaller limestone clasts, and fluviatile quartz gravels, sands, and muds"
The authors concluded that the fissure infilling was a "rapid and unique event" based on the lack of a stratified sequence as well as coherent fauna
Small mammal remains consist of teeth and disarticulated bone fragments
