• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: San Emigdio Formation (San Lorenzo Group), Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From San Emigdio Fm San Lorenzo Group, which unconformably overlies the Meagnos and Tejon Fm's (Early-Middle Eocene), and is unconformably overlain by the Pleito Fm (Early Oligocene) of the San Lorenzo Group.
