Where: Kern County, California (35.0° N, 119.2° W: paleocoordinates 33.4° N, 109.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pleito Formation (San Lorenzo Group), Early/Lower Oligocene (33.9 - 28.4 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Pleito Fm of the San Lorenzo Group, which unconformably overlies the San Emigdio Fm (Late Eocene), and is unconformably overlain by the Pleito Fm (Early Oligocene) of the San Lorenzo Group. THICKNESS: From bed within unit of formation that reaches 600 ft in thicknes. AGE: Late Eocene on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From middle unit of the formation.
