Abstract
Palombo M.R. & Milli S., Mammal fossil record, depositional setting, and sequence stratigraphy in the Middle-Upper
Pleistocene of Roman Basin. (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2010)
In the Roman Basin, and particularly in the Ponte Galeria area, Quaternary vertebrate remains are preserved both in continental and
marine sedimentary successions. The facies and sequence stratigraphical analyses carried out in the last twenty years on such deposits led to a detailed local chronostratigraphical framework which fixes some physical and temporal limits to the fist/last local appearances of some mammalian taxa. This contributes to a better definition of faunal complexe, characterizing the biochronological setting
proposed for the Quaternary large mammal faunas of the Italian peninsula.
