Summary (English)

  • The paleontological excavations took place on a front about 4 m wide and with a maximum height of about 1.5 m in correspondence with excavation A and two trenches, denominated F and G, dug on higher ground compared to earlier areas A, B, C, D and E.
    Prior to beginning the paleontological excavation various outcropping layers in area A were identified, that were renumbered according to the system of the preceding years. The work mainly involved layer 1. Numerous gastropods and bivalves, including a cowry shell were recovered from the stratigraphy.

    During 2014, the observation of the sponge spicules found in excavations F and G on Monte Duello continued.
