Where: Florida (25.9° N, 81.3° W: paleocoordinates 26.0° N, 80.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Jupiter Waterway Member (Murdock Station Formation), Early/Lower Pliocene (5.3 - 3.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Jupiter Waterway Mbr of the Murdock Station Fm, Hawthorn Grp, which is overlain by the Sarasota Mbr of the Murdock Station Fm, and subsequently, the Tamiami or Fort Thompson Fms. Correlative with the Yorktown, Goose Neck, and Duplin Fms. THICKNESS: Varies between 1 and 10 m across areal extent. AGE: Early Pliocene. Based on macrofossil biostratigraphy the unit is throught to represent the early to early Zanclean. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Checklist representative of entire member.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; unlithified, pebbly, phosphatic, shelly/skeletal, brown, gray, sandy, calcareous claystone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Unknown, presumably the authors and others. REPOSITORY: No repository stated.
