The Calcari Grigi di Noriglio Formation is a geological formation in Italy , dating to roughly between 200 and 190 million years ago and covering the Hettangian to Sinemurian stages of the Jurassic Period in the Mesozoic Era.Fossil prosauropod tracks have been reported from the formation .
Italy ( Italian : Italia [ iˈtaːlja ] ( listen ) ) , officially the Italian Republic ( Italian : Repubblica Italiana [ reˈpubblika itaˈljaːna ] ) , is a European country consisting of a peninsula delimited by the Alps and surrounded by several islands . Italy is located in south-central Europe , and it is also considered a part of Western Europe . The country covers a total area of 301,340 km2 ( 116,350 sq mi ) and shares land borders with France , Switzerland , Austria , Slovenia , and the enclaved microstates of Vatican City and San Marino . Italy has a territorial exclave in Switzerland ( Campione ) and a maritime exclave in the Tunisian Sea ( Lampedusa ) . With around 60 million inhabitants , Italy is the third-most populous member state of the European Union . The capital and largest city is Rome ; other major cities are Milan , Naples , Turin , Palermo , Genoa , Bologna , Florence and Venice . Due to its central geographic location in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean , Italy has historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures . In addition to the various ancient peoples dispersed throughout what is now modern-day Italy , the most predominant being the Indo-European Italic peoples who gave the peninsula its name , beginning from the classical era , Phoenicians and Carthaginians founded colonies mostly in insular Italy , Greeks established settlements in the so-called Magna Graecia of Southern Italy , while Etruscans and Celts inhabited central and northern Italy respectively . An Italic tribe known as the Latins formed the Roman Kingdom in the 8th century BC , which eventually became a republic with a government of the Senate and the People . The Roman Republic initially conquered and assimilated its neighbours on the Italian peninsula , eventually expanding and conquering parts of Europe , North Africa and Asia . By the first century BC , the Roman Empire emerged as the dominant power in the Mediterranean Basin and became a leading cultural , political and religious centre , inaugurating the Pax Romana , a period of more than 200 years during which Italy 's law , technology , economy , art , and literature developed . Italy remained the homeland of the Romans and the metropole of the empire , whose legacy can also be observed in the global distribution of culture , governments , Christianity and the Latin script .
Main Dolomite ( German : Hauptdolomit , Italian : Dolomia Principale ) is a lithostratigraphic unit in the Alps of Europe .
The Durrestein Formation is a Carnian geologic formation in Italy . Fossil prosauropod tracks have been reported from the formation .
The McCoy Brook Formation is a geological formation dating to roughly between 200 and 190 million years ago and covering the Hettangian to Sinemurian stages . The McCoy Brook Formation is found in outcrops around the Bay of Fundy , Nova Scotia .
Canada is a country in the northern part of North America . Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean , covering 9.98 million square kilometres ( 3.85 million square miles ) , making it the world 's second-largest country by total area . Its southern border with the United States , stretching some 8,891 kilometres ( 5,525 mi ) , is the world 's longest bi-national land border . Canada 's capital is Ottawa , and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto , Montreal , and Vancouver . As a whole , Canada is sparsely populated , with most of its land area dominated by forest and tundra . Its population is highly urbanized , with over 80 percent of its inhabitants concentrated in large and medium-sized cities , and 70 percent residing within 100 kilometres ( 62 mi ) of the southern border . Canada 's climate varies widely across its vast area , ranging from Arctic climate in the north to hot summers in the southern regions , with four distinct seasons . Various indigenous peoples inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years before European colonization . Beginning in the 16th century , British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast . As a consequence of various armed conflicts , France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 . In 1867 , with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation , Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces . This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom .
The Moenave Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation , in the Glen Canyon Group . It is found in Utah and Arizona . The Moenave was deposited on an erosion surface on the Chinle Formation following an early Jurassic uplift and unconformity that represents about ten million years of missing sedimentation . Periodic incursions of shallow seas from the north during the Jurassic flooded parts of Wyoming , Montana , and a northeast-southwest trending trough on the Utah/Idaho border . The Moenave was deposited in a variety of river , lake , and flood-plain environments . The oldest beds of this formation belong to the Dinosaur Canyon Member , a reddish , slope-forming rock layer with thin beds of siltstone that are interbedded with mudstone and fine sandstone . The Dinosaur Canyon , with a local thickness of 140 to 375 feet ( 43 to 114 m ) , was probably laid down in slow-moving streams , ponds and large lakes . Evidence for this is in cross-bedding of the sediments and large numbers of fish fossils . The upper member of the Moenave is the pale reddish-brown with a thickness of 75 to 150 feet ( 23 to 46 m ) and cliff-forming Springdale Sandstone . It was deposited in swifter , larger , and more voluminous streams than the older Dinosaur Canyon Member . Fossils of large sturgeon-like freshwater fish have been found in the beds of the Springdale Sandstone . The next member in the Moenave Formation is the thin-bedded Whitmore Point , which is made of mudstone and shale .
The United States of America ( USA ) , commonly known as the United States ( U.S. or US ) or America , is a country consisting of 50 states , a federal district , five major self-governing territories , and various possessions . [ g ] At 3.8 million square miles ( 9.8 million km2 ) , it is the world 's third or fourth-largest country by total area [ b ] and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe . Most of the country is located in central North America between Canada and Mexico . With an estimated population of over 328 million , the U.S. is the third most populous country in the world . The capital is Washington , D.C. , and the most populous city is New York City . Paleo-Indians migrated from Siberia to the North American mainland at least 12,000 years ago . European colonization began in the 16th century . The United States emerged from the thirteen British colonies established along the East Coast . Numerous disputes between Great Britain and the colonies led to the American Revolutionary War lasting between 1775 and 1783 , leading to independence . The United States embarked on a vigorous expansion across North America throughout the 19th century - gradually acquiring new territories , displacing Native Americans , and admitting new states - until by 1848 it spanned the continent . During the second half of the 19th century , the American Civil War led to the abolition of slavery in the United States . The Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed the country 's status as a global military power .
The Montemarcello Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in Italy . Fossil prosauropod tracks have been reported from the formation .
The Portezuelo Formation is a geologic formation of Late Cretaceous ( Late Turonian to Early Coniacian ) age , outcropping in the Mendoza , Río Negro and Neuquén provinces of Argentina . It is the fourth-oldest formation in the Neuquén Group and the older of the two formations in the Río Neuquén Subgroup . Formerly , that subgroup was treated as a formation , and the Portezuelo Formation was known as the Portezuelo Member .
Argentina ( Spanish : [ aɾxenˈtina ] ) , officially the Argentine Republic [ A ] ( Spanish : República Argentina ) , is a country located mostly in the southern half of South America . Sharing the bulk of the Southern Cone with Chile to the west , the country is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay to the north , Brazil to the northeast , Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east , and the Drake Passage to the south . With a mainland area of 2,780,400 km2 ( 1,073,500 sq mi ) , [ B ] Argentina is the eighth-largest country in the world , the fourth largest in the Americas , the second largest in South America after Brazil , and the largest Spanish-speaking nation . The sovereign state is subdivided into twenty-three provinces ( Spanish : provincias , singular provincia ) and one autonomous city ( ciudad autónoma ) , Buenos Aires , which is the federal capital of the nation ( Spanish : Capital Federal ) as decided by Congress . The provinces and the capital have their own constitutions , but exist under a federal system . Argentina claims sovereignty over part of Antarctica , the Falkland Islands ( Spanish : Islas Malvinas ) , and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands . The earliest recorded human presence in modern-day Argentina dates back to the Paleolithic period . The Inca Empire expanded to the northwest of the country in Pre-Columbian times . The country has its roots in Spanish colonization of the region during the 16th century . Argentina rose as the successor state of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata , a Spanish overseas viceroyalty founded in 1776 . The declaration and fight for independence ( 1810-1818 ) was followed by an extended civil war that lasted until 1861 , culminating in the country 's reorganization as a federation of provinces with Buenos Aires as its capital city . The country thereafter enjoyed relative peace and stability , with several waves of European immigration , mainly Italians and Spaniards , radically reshaping its cultural and demographic outlook ; 62.5% of the population has full or partial Italian ancestry , and the Argentine culture has significant connections to the Italian culture .
The Portland Formation is a geological formation in the northeastern United States . It dates back to the Early Jurassic period . The formation consists mainly of sandstone laid down by a series of lakes ( in the older half of the formation ) and the floodplain of a river ( in the younger half ) . The sedimentary rock layers representing the entire Portland Formation are over 4 kilometres ( 2.5 mi ) thick and were formed over about 4 million years of time , from the Hettangian age ( lower half ) to the late Hettangian and Sinemurian ages ( upper half ) .
The Redonda Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation . Fossil theropod tracks have been reported from the formation .
The Rock Point Formation is a geologic formation in New Mexico and Utah . It preserves fossils dating back to the Triassic period . The famous Whitaker quarry of Ghost Ranch , New Mexico is believed to belong to the Rock Point Formation . This quarry has also been referred to as the Coelophysis quarry due to preserving a large number of specimens of the early theropod dinosaur Coelophysis bauri .
The Rotzo Formation is a geological formation in Italy , dating to roughly between 189 and 183 million years ago and covering the Pliensbachian stage of the Jurassic Period in the Mesozoic Era . Has been traditionally classified as a Sinemurian-Pliensbachian Formation , but a large and detailed dataset of isotopic 13C and 87Sr/86Sr data , estimated the Rotzo Formation to span only over the whole Pliensbachian . Fossil prosauropod tracks have been reported from the formation . This formation was deposited within a tropical lagoon environment which was protected by oolitic shoals and bars from the open deep sea located to the east ( Belluno Basin ) and towards the west ( Lombardia Basin ) . It is characterized by a rich paleontological content . It is notable mostly thanks to its great amount of big aberrant bivalves , among which is the genus Lithiotis , described in the second half of the nineteenth century . The unusual shape of Lithiotis and Cochlearites shells , extremely elongated and narrow , characterized by a spoon-like body space placed in a high position , rarely preserved , seems to suggest their adaptation to soft and muddy bottoms with a high sedimentation rate . The Bellori outcrop displays about 20 m of limestones with intercalated clays and marls rich in organic matter and sometimés fossil wood ( coal ) and amber . The limestones are well stratified , with beds 10 cm to more than one metre thick , whereas the clayey levels range between 3 and 40 cm in thickness .
The Sheep Pen Sandstone Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in the United States . Fossil theropod tracks have been reported from the formation .
The Sloan Canyon Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation . Fossil theropod tracks have been reported from the formation .
