Where: Trinidad and Tobago (10.5° N, 61.2° W: paleocoordinates 10.2° N, 58.6° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Middle Miocene (16.0 - 11.6 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unknown lithostratigraphic unit. THICKNESS: Unknown AGE: Stated to be "Middle or Lower Miocene" in text, but potentially could be younger in more recent revisions; a Middle Miocene age is assigned here. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown.

Environment/lithology: marine; unlithified siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
