Where: Trinidad and Tobago (10.6° N, 61.3° W: paleocoordinates 10.6° N, 60.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Caparo Clay Member (Talparo Formation), Early/Lower Pliocene (5.3 - 3.6 Ma)

• SOURCE: collected from within a 15 ft lens of sandstone situated in the upper part of the Caparo Clay. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: The Calparo Clay Mbr is the middle member in the Talparo Fm. The Matura Fm is probably equivalent to the Calparo Clay. BIOSTRATIGRAPHY: no biostratigraphic data reported, but is assigned an Early Pliocene age in the text and correlated to the Marura Fm, also Pliocene in age.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: estuary or bay; unlithified, glauconitic, sideritic, conglomeratic sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying,

• COLLECTOR: Karl Rohr (1937). REPOSITORY: Reposited at NHMB.
