Where: Leon County, Florida (30.4° N, 84.6° W: paleocoordinates 30.5° N, 84.0° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Jackson Bluff Formation (Alum Bluff Group), Late/Upper Pliocene (3.6 - 2.6 Ma)

• Cancellaria Zone of Choctawhatchee Formation, Alum Bluff Group. The Cancellaria zone is in the highest fossiliferous beds along Harveys Creel. The total thickness of this zone is 25-30 ft.
