LACMIP loc. 68-B, Newport Bay (Pleistocene of the United States)
Where: Orange County, California (33.6° N, 117.9° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Palos Verdes Formation, Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• The lower stratum is richly fossiliferous and near the Pliocene-Miocene contact.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified, fine-grained sandstone and unlithified, coarse-grained sandstone
• The sediments consist of fine grain sand near the top of the section and show a gradation from fine to coarse-grained sand towards the base. The Pleistocene sediments are only 12 to 18 feet thick at this exposure. The base level is reported by Mr. Thomas to be 82 feet (+ 1 foot).
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Reposited in the LACM
Collection methods: surface (float), surface (in situ),
