Where: Worth County, Georgia (31.4° N, 84.0° W: paleocoordinates 31.5° N, 77.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Bridgeboro Limestone Formation, Early/Lower Oligocene (33.9 - 28.4 Ma)

• type locality of formation

•fauna indicates a "Lower Oligocene" or "Vicksburgian" age

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
