Also known as STRI Sample 16916
Where: La Guajira, Colombia (11.9° N, 71.3° W: paleocoordinates 11.3° N, 68.6° W)
• coordinate based on unpublished field data
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: middle Castilletes Member (Castilletes Formation), Langhian (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Jimol Formation, which conformably overlies the Uipta Formation (early Miocene) and is unconformably overlain by the Castilletes Formation. This area and nearby collections have been previously mapped as Castilletes Formaton (late Pliocene-early Pleistocene). AGE: Burdigalian, on the basis of macrofaunal composition; direct age established by extrapolation of Sr-isotope dating by enterer. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From approximately 172 m in regional section, in the "Puerto Lopez" member.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; unlithified siltstone
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite
Collected by Hendy in 2011
