Where: Alachua County, Florida (29.6° N, 82.4° W: paleocoordinates 29.7° N, 75.8° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Whitneyan (33.3 - 30.8 Ma)

• "The absence of mammals from I-75 that are clearly indicative of the Arikareean (e.g., Nanotragulus) favors a Whitneyan age, probably late Whitneyan (about 30–31 Ma; Prothero and Emry, 2004)" (Morgan et al. 2019)

•"the greatest depth of the deposit... is probably not more than 6 feet"

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: sinkhole; poorly lithified, black, silty, sandy claystone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collected by M. Kontrovitz, T. H. Patton in 1965; reposited in the FLMNH

Collection methods: bulk, sieve,

• "recovery of most of the specimens was accomplished by means of washing and screening techniques"
