Also known as UCMP IP8675
Where: Kern County, California (34.9° N, 119.3° W: paleocoordinates 35.2° N, 106.1° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Uvas Conglomerate Member (Tejon Formation), Middle Eocene (48.6 - 37.2 Ma)
• Possibly early Eocene. The doubtfully identified
•Turritella ranges from the upper Paleocene "Meganos Stage" to the lower Eocene "Capay Stage." Correlation with the "Capay" is suggested by the fact that this assemblage overlies an undoubted "Capay" locality (USGS loc. M4654). Large foraminifers identified by K. N. Sachs, Jr., from the same locality (written commun., Feb. 15,1972):
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
