Some spectacular bivalve banks of the Lithiotis Facies are described here. They are located in the upper part of the Rotzo Formation (Lower Jurassic). An excellent preservation state of the specimens, the darkness and scarce re-crystallisation of the matrix, and the broad lateral extension of the mounds allowed us a reliable taxonomic classification and the reconstruction of bank geometries. These banks were produced by Lithioperna and Cochlearites.

Abstract
Some spectacular bivalve banks of the Lithiotis Facies are described here. They are located in the upper part of the Rotzo Formation (Lower Jurassic). An excellent preservation state of the specimens, the darkness and scarce re-crystallisation of the matrix, and the broad lateral extension of the mounds allowed us a reliable taxonomic classification and the reconstruction of bank geometries. These banks were produced by Lithioperna and Cochlearites.File in questo prodotto:
