=== Monte Postale === The Monte Postale site of Monte Bolca is located north of Pesciara and represents a succession with a thickness of over 130 m. Throughout this complex succession, there are transitions from fine-grained limestones to massive coralgal limestones.<ref name=":02" /> These coralgal limestones are highly abundant in coral colonies and range from weakly to massive stratification. The thicker logs of the coralgal limestones are about 13.7 m in thickness each with the finer-grained logs being thinner. Within all of these logs, there is ''Alveolina'' present however it is much more common in the coarser-grained sediments. <ref name=":4">{{Cite journal |last=Vescogni |first=Alessandro |last2=Bosellini |first2=Francesca R. |last3=Papazzoni |first3=Cesare Andrea |last4=Giusberti |first4=Luca |last5=Roghi |first5=Guido |last6=Fornaciari |first6=Eliana |last7=Dominici |first7=Stefano |last8=Zorzin |first8=Roberto |date=2016-06-02 |title=Coralgal buildups associated with the Bolca Fossil-Lagerstätten: new evidence from the Ypresian of Monte Postale (NE Italy) |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s10347-016-0472-x |journal=Facies |volume=62 |issue=3 |doi=10.1007/s10347-016-0472-x |issn=0172-9179|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Though the site is largely known for the fish and plants found, Monte Postale is also well known for the molluscan fauna located at the uppermost section of the site. Just like Pesciara, the stata of Monte Postale have been dated to the late Ypresian with the upper-most portion of the beds being potentially correlated to the limestones seen at Pesciara.<ref name=":02" />
