Accepted 4 November 2016 Appendix
Details of localities (see Figure 1) of Miocene methane-seep bivalves reported in this paper. Regarding the localities from Piedmont mentioned here in the context of the Sacco collection at MRSN (Albugnano, Bersano, Pera del Gal , Pino Torinese, etc.), the reader must refer to the catalog edited byMerlino (2007). The material illustrated by Moroni (1966) was reported to have been stored in the Museo Geologico Giovanni Capellini, University of Bologna, with the S. Sofia collection (catalog numbers 121–140); however, the collection is not present in this museum and is possibly kept in the University of Palermo, but not traceable at present (G. Ruggieri, personal communication, 1996).
1. Abisso “Mornig”.—Micritic limestone blocks near the entrance of “Mornig” cave, SE of Castelnuovo, not far from Brisighella (Ravenna province), Romagna Apennine, northern
465
Italy; coordinates: 44°13'40''N, 11°44'72''E; Tossignano marls, late Miocene (late Tortonian).
2. Ca’ Carnè.—Marly to micritic limestone deposits just S-SE of Ca’ Carnè (“Vena del Gesso Romagnola” Regional Park visit center), near Brisighella (Ravenna province), Romagna Apen- nine, northern Italy; coordinates: 44°13'40''N, 11°44'72''E; Tossignano marls, late Miocene (late Tortonian).
3. Ca’ Cavalmagra.—Limestone (calcarenitic) deposit SSE of Palazzuolo (Firenze province), Tuscan Romagna Appenine, northern Italy; coordinates: 44°05'78''N, 11°33'62''E; Marnoso- arenacea Formation, middle Miocene (upper Langhian).
4. Monticino-Limisano – Castelnuovo junction.—Few scattered limestone blocks near the junction between Castelnuovo street and Calbane street, not far from Brisighella (Ravenna province), Romagna Appenine, northern Italy; coordinates 44°14'03.07''N; 11°44'18.72''E; late Miocene (late Tortonian).
5. Ca’ Fornace.—Erratic limestone blocks in the Sintria Creek downstream of the bridge near Ca’ Fornace, near Brisighella (Ravenna province), Romagna Apennine, northern Italy; coordinates: 44°14'14''N, 11°44'40''E; late Miocene (late Tortonian).
6. Ca’ Pianté.—Scattered marly to micritic limestone blocks SW of Ca’ Pianté, not far from Ca’ Carnè and near Brisighella (Ravenna province), Romagna Appenine, northern Italy; late Miocene (late Tortonian); additional information can be found in Conti and Fontana (1998).
7. Case Rovereti.—Large isolated limestone block just NW of the small village of Raggio, near Santa Sofia (Forlì province), Romagna Appenine, Italy; coordinates: 43°55'38''N, 11°56'43''E; located on San Paolo Marls but not necessarily belonging to such stratigraphic unit, late Miocene (middle Tortonian–early Messinian). This deposit has previously been described in more detail (Moroni, 1966; Taviani, 1994; Terzi et al., 1994; Clari et al., 2004a).
8. Castelvecchio.—Limestone (calcarenitic) deposit just W of small village of Castelvecchio, Piancaldoli, near Firenzuola (Firenze province), Tuscan Romagna Apennine, northern Italy; coordinates: 44°11'53''N, 11°24'18''E; Marnoso-arenacea Formation, middle Miocene (early Serravallian).
9. Deruta.—Small blocks at Fosso Castelleone 2 km SE of Deruta (Perugia province), central Italy; coordinates 42°58'15.47''N; 12°26'35.48''E. Upper Miocene (Serravallian). This area was described by Clari et al. (2004b).
10. Le Colline.—Scattered marly to micritic limestone blocks outcrop NE of Salecchio, near Palazzuolo (Firenze province), Tuscan Romagna Appenine, northern Italy; coordi- nates: 44°06'17''N, 11°34'53''E; Marnoso-arenacea Formation, middle Miocene (early Serravallian); further information on this outcrop is provided by Conti and Fontana (1998).
11.Marmorito.—Limestone deposits near the village of Marmorito in the Monferrato hills, east of Torino in the Piedmont Basin in northern Italy; coordinates: 45°03'24''N, 08°01'11''E; late Miocene
