Abstract

ABSTRACT: Pazzaglia F. et al., The Pleistocene calcareous tufa of Santa Sabina (Perugia, central Italy): stratigraphy, palynology and vertebrate paleontology. (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2011) An integrated sedimentological, geochronological, paleontological (mammal fauna) and palynological study was carried out on the calcareous tufa of Santa Sabina, outcropping in the Ellera basin (Perugia, central Italy). Previous U/Th datings on the investigated sections provided an absolute age of 115±8 ka as confirmed by the vertebrate fauna which could be biochronologically referred to the early-middle Aurelian Mammal Age. It corresponds to the MIS 5e, and to the last interglacial period (Eemian) characterised by wet and warm climate conditions suitable for calcareous tufa depositon.
