• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified, shelly/skeletal, blue, sandy mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sediments

• ENVIRONMENT: no environmental data reported; shallow marine environment.

• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Bluish, sandy, massive shell bed.

Size class: mesofossils

Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite

Reposited in the FMNH

Collection methods: bulk, quarrying,

• COLLECTOR: Morgan and Hulbert (1989). REPOSITORY: unknown repository, probably FMNH.
