Where: Florida (27.3° N, 82.4° W: paleocoordinates 27.4° N, 82.0° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Fordville Member (Caloosahatchee Formation), Late/Upper Pliocene to Late/Upper Pliocene (3.6 - 0.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Fordville Mbr of the Caloosahatchee Fm, Okeechobee Grp, which is overlain by the Fort Denaud Mbr, and overlies the Fruitville Mbr of the Tamiami Fm. Correlative with the Chowan RIver Fm, Bear Bluff Fm, and the Nashua Fm. THICKNESS: Varies between 2 and 20 m across areal extent. AGE: Late Pliocene. Based on macrofossil biostratigraphy the unit is throught to represent the latest Piacenzian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Checklist representative of entire member.
