Recent and new data are summarized to give confirmed ages to old-known localities as well as to recently discovered ones. Besano-Mt. S. Giorgio (Anisian-Ladinian), Periedo (Ladinian-? Lower Carnian), Raibl (Lower Carnian), Ca' del Frate (Lower Carnian), Preone Valley (Lower Norian), Brescia and Bergamo Prealps (Norian) and Giffoni Valle Piana (Norian) are the investigated localities.
