Where: La Guajira, Colombia (11.9° N, 71.5° W: paleocoordinates 11.0° N, 67.8° W)

• coordinate based on unpublished field data

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Uipta Formation, Aquitanian to Aquitanian (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Uipta Formation, which unconformably overlies the Siamana Formation (late Oligocene-early Miocene) and is conformably overlain by the Jimol Formation (early-middle Miocene). AGE: Aquitanian-Burdigalian, on the basis of stratigraphic position and constrained by Sr-isotope dating of enterer. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From an unknown part of Uipta Fm.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression
