Extract

Fossil Mammalian remains from Olivola were already known in the last century. Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti describes and figures several bones from that locality, which he refers to some species of Tricliechus or Phoca, but which, as far as the figures permit of a judgment, belonged to Ruminants. In this century, the deposit was mentioned by Pareto, and by Cocchi, who from stratigraphical considerations ascribe it to the Pleistocene.
