Biochronology of Plio-Pleistocene mammal assemblages of Umbria (Central Italy)
A short illustration of the fossil mammalian assemblages collected in Umbria is given
The fossil remains of Soricidae and Leporidae (Mammalia) in the Early Pleistocene of Pietrafitta (Perugia, Central Italy)
A rich mammalian assemblage, referred to the Early Pleistocene (late Villafranchian, Farneta Faunal Unit), was recovered
in the lignite of Pietrafitta (Perugia, Central Italy). This fossil assemblage includes some remains of an insectivore of the family Soricidae and a lagomorph of the family Leporidae. The morphological and morphometrical analysis of these teeth allowed to refer the remains to Sorex cfr. S. minutus Linnaeus, 1758 and Oryctolagus cfr. O. lacosti (Pomel, 1853) respectively
The rodents of the Pirro Nord fauna (Foggia, Southern Italy)
The rodent fauna of various fissure fillings of the Pirro Nord karstic complex are examined here. They have been collected during several field caingns starting from the 70’s until 2006 and are here examined in a comprehensive matter. Hundreds of specimens of arvicolids, murids and, in much lower amount, Glirids have been recovered from several of these fissures. They belong to the species Allophaiomys ex gr. ruffoi, Myodes sp. Apodemus flavicollis and Muscardinus sp
EuroMam 2001 ITALY – The Villafranchian and Galerian Faunas of Italy. Field Trip Guide, 13-17 giugno 2001.
I partecipanti - provenienti da molti paesi europei - sono stati condotti sui principali siti pleistocenici nel Valdarno, nel bacino Tiberino e nella Campagna Romana. Nella terza giornata, quella da me coordinata, è stata illustrata ai partecipanti la geologia, la stratigrafia e la paleontologia della Campagna Romana, territorio di grande importanza scientifica (area di Ponte Galeria, Torre in Pietra). I partecipanti hanno ricevuto guide alle escursioni realizzate col coordinamento dei promotori
Myotis dasycneme in a latest Pleistocene bat assemblage of Cittareale cave (Rieti, Latium, Central Italy)
Five species of fossil bats have been discovered in Cittareale cave (Rieti, Latium, Central Italy): Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, Myotis (Myotis) myotis, M. (M.) bechsteini and M. (Leuconoë) dasycneme. The presence of a northern “cold” species like M. dasycneme indicates a latest Pleistocene cold phase, probably theYounger Dryas. Cittareale cave is the southernmost site of the past distribution of M. (L.) dasycneme in Europe, which at the present is found as south as northern Croatia
