Chronology

The Priabonian is, in the

Epoch or Series. It spans the time between 37.71 and 33.9 Ma. The Priabonian is preceded by the Bartonian and is followed by the Rupelian, the lowest stage of the Oligocene.[5]

dipteran of Pipunculidae family, is named after Priabonian, the age of deposits from which this insect is known.[6]

Stratigraphic definition

The Priabonian Stage was introduced in scientific literature by

Priabona in the community of Monte di Malo, in the Veneto region of northern Italy
.

The base of the Priabonian Stage is at the first appearance of

GSSP was ratified in 2020, and was placed in the Alano di Piave section in Alano di Piave, Belluno, Italy.[3]

The top of the Priabonian Stage (the base of the Rupelian Stage and Oligocene Series) is at the

Hantkenina.

Sometimes local

rock strata cannot be correlated in sufficient detail with the ICS timescale, and stratigraphers often use regional timescales as alternatives to the ICS timescale. The Priabonian overlaps for example the upper Johannian and lowers Aldingan stages of the Australian timescale or the upper Nanzian and lower Refugian stages of the Californian timescale. Other regional stages which are more or less coeval with the Priabonian include the Jacksonian of the southeastern US and Runangan of New Zealand
