Also known as DC 92
Where: Dominican Republic (18.5° N, 71.7° W: paleocoordinates 18.5° N, 71.6° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unknown lithosratigraphy. From "coast limestone". AGE: Undifferentiated Pleistocene. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown position within section.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lithified limestone
• ENVIRONMENT: Environmental data not reported in text.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Limestone. LITHIFICATION: Lithified, assumed on the basis of facies description.
