Palinuro seamount in the Tyrrhenian Sea north of the Eolian Islands rises nearly 3,000 m to within 70 m of the surface and has an open summit crater. A marine ash layer (PL-1) radiocarbon dated (calibrated) at 9,990 +/- 90 years ago is chemically and stratigraphically similar to two ash layers on land in southern Italy; it was tentatively correlated to Palinuro seamount activity (Siani et al., 2004).
