Please provide more specific information in the locality string. The manual will tell you how to add a new locality properly.

Hi Peter,

I wait for the developing of this strange and missing entry, hoping that it will not left in that way for long:

I think that with this “Sassetta – Italy" entry (who approved it so incomplete?)is probably meant this area:

Val Canina (Slag Locality), Sassetta, Campiglia Marittima, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy

This is a slag locality near to Sassetta village and placed in Val Canina “Canina valley” where you can find some ancient remains of metallurgical activity (related to many mining areas all relatively close to that place); into the slags have been found many minerals

for a more accurate list see this link: http://www.comune.pisa.it/apsn/Articoli/Scorie/Sassetta.htm

The mineral worked in this area came out from the near mines named "buche al ferro" ant it was mainly fused to extract iron, even if there are many other minerals (Pb-Zn mainly)

Further readings where can be found, mentioned among more important and rich ones, this secondary slag locality:

Marco,

Strange enough, someone had set that guy to access level 2, so the entry was not submitted to the approval process. This should not have happened either.

The coordinates given do in fact place this locality somewhere in Tuscany. I will relate it to Livorno Province.
