Geography
| Country: | Panama | State/province: | Colon |
| Coordinates: | 9.3° North, 80.0° West (view map) | ||
| Paleocoordinates: | 9.2° North, 79.4° West | ||
| Basis of coordinate: | stated in text | ||
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Neogene | Epoch: | Miocene |
| Stage: | Messinian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |
| Key time interval: | Messinian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 7.24600 - 5.33300 m.y. ago | ||
| Age estimate: | 6.1 Ma (other) |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Chagres Sandstone | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The Chagres Formation sits disconformably on the Gatun Formation: a marked change in lithology and a temporal hiatus characterizes the disconformity. Toro Point Section. AGE: direct date is midpoint for established age range from microfossil biostratigraphy. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | bioturbation,coarse,volcaniclastic argillaceous sandstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: The Chagres Formation consists of indurated conglomeratic coarse-grained, volcanic sandstone with quartz, feldspar, and lithic grains, It is pervasively bioturbated and is relatively poor in macrofossils. Toward the west, in the region of the Indio River and Gobea. The average grain size of the Chagres Formation markedly decreases and the macrofossil content increases. | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | all microfossils,some macrofossils |
| Collection methods: | bulk,sieve,field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
| Museum repositories: | BMNH,NMB,USNM |
| Collection method comments: COVERAGE: Exhaustive for gastropoda, bivalvia and scaphopoda. COLLECTORS: unknown (PPP staff), 7/8/92. REPOSITORIES:collections presumably held at USNM, BMNH and Naturhistorisches Museum Basel (NMB), | |
| Taxonomic list comments:NOMENCLATURE: modern nomenclature, though only identified to subgenus resolution. IDENTIFIER: presumably identified by J. Jackson, J. Todd, H. Fortunato, and P. Jung. | |
