Where: Sumter County, South Carolina (33.8° N, 80.6° W: paleocoordinates 35.0° N, 63.3° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Black Mingo Formation, Late/Upper Paleocene (58.7 - 55.8 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Black Mingo, which regionally unconformably overlies the PeeDee Fm (Late Cretaceous) and is regionally unconformably overlain by the McBean Fm (Eocene); the formation is laterally equialent to the Aquia Fm and the Wilcox Gp. AGE: Paleocene in text; here assigned to Late Paleocene on the basis of more recent biostratigraphic dating. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From ledge of hard silicified sandstone of unknown position in formation.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, shelly/skeletal, cherty/siliceous sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
