Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Bermont | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unknown member of the Bermont Fm (originally coined "unit A" by Olsson and Petit, 1964), Okeechobee Grp, which is overlain by the Belle Glade Mbr. Correlative with the Flanners Beach Fm (North and South Carolina). THICKNESS: Varies between 4 and 20 m across areal extent. AGE: Middle Pleistocene. Based on uranium isotope dating the unit is dated as middle Pleistocene, Aftonian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Checklist representative of entire formation.

Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | shelly/skeletal unlithified calcareous sandstone |
| Secondary lithology: | shelly/skeletal lithified sandy "limestone" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: LITHOLOGY: Lithologically these sediments are complex, varying from unconsolidated, variably calcareous and fossiliferous quartz sands to well indurated, sandy, fossiliferous limestones (both marine and freshwater). LITHIFICATION: Unlithified on the basis of figured specimens and inspection of material | |
| Environment: | transition zone/lower shoreface |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Relatively shallow, lower shoreface, siliciclastic setting. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body,original aragonite |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | field collection,survey of museum collection,observed (not collected) |
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
| Museum repositories: | FMNH,USNM |
| Collection method comments: COLLECTORS: Multiple collectors, probably including Mansfield, A. Olsson, and R. Petit. REPOSITORY: USNM and Florida Museum of Natural History.
| |
| Taxonomic list comments:COVERAGE: Exhaustive for echinoidea, with charactersitic bivalvia, gastropoda, and cirripedia. NOMENCLATURE: Relatively modern echinoid nomenclature, but somewhat antiquated molluscan nomenclature, although identified to species and subgenus resolution.
