The late Middle Pleistocene ichnosite of Funtana Morimenta (Gonnesa, Italy) provides a relevant scientific and didactic interest. In this site, tracks of megacerine deer and dwarf mammoths of the Ice Age are well-preserved and visible in situ. The geosite has also historic importance, and it has been mentioned since the beginning of the nineteenth century for the sedimentological features and its palaeontological content. For these reasons, the Funtana Morimenta ichnosite would represent an efficient tool for developing educational goals, such as teaching activities or field trips. Unfortunately, in the last years, it has shown significant deterioration because its sedimentological features (poorly cemented aeolian sandstone) made it susceptible to weathering. For this site to be available for future generations, great attention should be posed to its safeguard and avoid the permanent disappearance of what is currently a full-fledged natural and scientific resource. The conservation actions herein proposed will provide several benefits: they are meant to (i) valorize the aeolian deposits and the visible ichnofossils; (ii) show visitors, tourists, or students the geo-palaeontological richness of the territory; (iii) encourage tourists to explore the other numerous geosites spread in the island of Sardinia; and (iv) allow private entrepreneurs or local public administrations to develop economic opportunities.

Funtana Morimenta Ichnosite(意大利撒丁岛):潜在的地质旅游胜地

Funtana Morimenta(意大利Gonnesa)的中更新世的含硅铁橄榄石提供了相关的科学和教学意义。在该站点中,保存完好的冰河时代的大角鹿和矮小的猛tracks象的痕迹在原地可见。地质遗址也具有历史意义,自19世纪初以来就已提及其沉积学特征及其古生物学内容。由于这些原因,Funtana Morimenta ichnosite将成为制定教育目标(如教学活动或实地考察)的有效工具。不幸的是,在最近几年中,由于其沉积学特征(胶结的风积砂岩较弱)使其易于风化,因此已显示出严重恶化。为了使本网站可用于子孙后代,应高度重视其保障,并避免目前完全成熟的自然和科学资源永久消失。本文提出的保护措施将带来几个好处:它们的目的是(i)评估风成沉积物和可见的鱼类化石;(ii)向游客,游客或学生展示该地区的地理古地理丰富性;(iii)鼓励游客探索撒丁岛上分布的其他众多地理位置;(iv)允许私人企业家或地方公共行政部门发展经济机会。它们的目的是(i)使风成矿床和可见的鱼类化石增值;(ii)向游客,游客或学生展示该地区的地理古地理丰富性;(iii)鼓励游客探索撒丁岛上分布的其他众多地理位置;(iv)允许私人企业家或地方公共行政部门发展经济机会。它们的目的是(i)使风成矿床和可见的鱼类化石增值;(ii)向游客,游客或学生展示该地区的地理古地理丰富性;(iii)鼓励游客探索撒丁岛上分布的其他众多地理位置;(iv)允许私人企业家或地方公共行政部门发展经济机会。
