Also known as Loc. 23

Where: Baja California Sur, Mexico (28.9° N, 114.0° W: paleocoordinates 28.0° N, 107.6° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Upper Member (Ysidro Formation), Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)

• Collection from a bed of marl in the upper part of the Ysidro Formation. The Ysidro Formation consists of dirty-white sandstone, underlying the Comondu Formation. The formation varies in lithology from place to place and apparently becomes more tuffaceous towards the gulf coast. The formation can be subdivided into two members, a lower shale member and an upper sandstone member. Faun correlated to the Temblor of California, and possibly the Vaqueros of California, although a lower Temblor age (early Miocene) is preferred

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; marl

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Collection studied and determined by Herlein and Jordan (Stanford). No known repository.
