Cava Sinigaglia, Teolo, Colli Euganei, Provincia di Padova, Veneto, Italia
Abandoned limestone quarry to the east of Teolo. The quarry mainly exploited rocks of the Scaglia Variegata formation, a sequence of micritic marlous limestones, calcareous marlstones, and clay marls (reddish or white-greeinish in colour). Quarrying involved also the so-called "Livello Bonarelli", a layer of grey-black to ochraceous marls and siltstones, rich in organic matter. This layer yielded pyrite nodules and veinlets.
