250 Million Years of

Earth History in Central Italy

Celebrating 25 Years of the Geological Observatory of Coldigioco

Edited by Christian Koeberl and David M. Bice

Central Italy has been a cradle of geology for centuries. For more than 100 years, studies at the Umbria and Marche
Apennines have led to new ideas and a better understanding of the past, such as the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K-Pg)
boundary event, or the events across the Eocene–Oligocene transition from a greenhouse to an icehouse world.
The Umbria-Marche Apennines are entirely made of marine sedimentary rocks, representing a continuous record
of the geotectonic evolution of an epeiric sea from the Early Triassic to the Pleistocene. The book includes reviews
and original research works accomplished with the support of the Geological Observatory of Coldigioco, an inde-
pendent research and educational center, which was founded in an abandoned medieval hamlet near Apiro in 1992.
