PROGRAMME

September 1st, 2005

 Morning: Ferrara-Mossano (Vicenza). Mossano stratigraphic section where Middle to Upper Eocene shallow water carbonates contain coralline algal and larger foraminiferal facies successions.

 Lunch in Mossano.

Afternoon: Mossano - Tonezza del Cimone (Vicenza). Lower Jurassic lagoonal benthic assemblages represented by larger bivalves of the Lithiotis facies, larger foraminifera, cyanobacterial encrustations and non-marine black shales.

Accomodation and dinner in Tonezza.

September 2nd, 2005

Morning: Tonezza del Cimone-Lavini di Marco (Trento). Visit to the famous paleontological site Lavini di Marco in which Lower Jurassic dinosaur tracks are preserved. Stromatolites and dasycladaleans are also present.

Lunch in Lavini di Marco.

Afternoon: Transfer from Lavini di Marco to Rupingrande (Trieste)

Accomodation and dinner in Rupingrande (Trieste)

September 3rd, 2005

Morning: Rupingrande-Padriciano. The Padriciano stratigraphic section with Maastrichtian beds, the K/T boundary and a complete sequence of shallow water carbonates Danian to Thanetian in age (SBZ1-4). The section shows a very rich content of Stromatolites, Charophyta (lower part of the section), foraminifera and red algae (upper part).

Padriciano Dolenia Vas (Slovenja) and ebulovica. Sections of Dolenja vas and ebulovica characterized by abundant and well preserved association of dasycladaleans.

Lunch in Rupingrande

Afternoon: Rupingrande-Medea. Visit of the Medea hill, the type-locality of Microsporangiella buseri and Cymopolia paronai.

Travel back to Ferrara.
