Where: Florida (26.1° N, 81.8° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 26.6° N, 80.7° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Golden Gate Member (Tamiami Formation), Late/Upper Pliocene (3.6 - 2.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Golden Gate Mbr of the Tamiami Fm, Okeechobee Grp, which is overlain by the Fruitville Mbr, and overlies the Ochopee Mbr, both of the Tamiami Fm. Correlative with the Yorktown, Chowan River, Waccamaw, Duplin, and Jackson Bluff Fms. THICKNESS: Varies between 15 and 50 m across areal extent. AGE: Late Pliocene. Based on macrofossil biostratigraphy the unit is throught to represent the middle-late Piacenzian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Checklist representative of entire member.
