Biochronology of the pleistocene mammal Faunas from Rome urban area

Abstract

In the Rome area nowdays it is not possible to verify the stratigraphical references on the Pleistocene faunal assemblages in different times. The writers, considering the last bioch-ronological model of the plio-pleistocene mammals of Italy, make many observations on the biochronological sequences of mammals in the roman urban area from Olivola F.U. (Mammal Age late Villafranchian: early Pleistocene) to Vitinia F.U. (Mammal Age middle Aurelian: middle late Pleistocene).
