Paleonet: Vicentine

[Weil, Anne]

As far as I can tell the Vicentine is a Cretaceous limestone cropping out in Italy.
However, at least one author noted its similarity to marls in Normandy.  (“On the epiolitic rocks of the Venetian Alps,” 1850, by Prof. T. A. Catullo in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, available via Google Books)  Is it possible that at one time the marls in Normandy were considered to be outcrops of the same formation?

Rodrigo,

From the way it is worded, I would guess that they mean "[from the] vicinity of Normandy, France", and simply refers to the collection location of the specimen.

Hope this helps,

Howard

Dear all,
I've got a fossil listed in the work of Férussac (1821) that is from the Vicentine of Normandy, France.
Do any of you know what is meant as Vicentine by these earlier authors? Is it from the Cretaceous?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Rodrigo Salvador.
