Where: Dominican Republic (19.6° N, 71.3° W: paleocoordinates 19.6° N, 70.8° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Gurabo Formation, Early/Lower Pliocene (5.3 - 3.6 Ma)
• From an individual section. Unknown formation at the time of publication (Possibly Cercado, Gurabo or Mao). On the basis of faunal similarity this is correlated to upper units on Rio Cana, which more recent work suggested is Gurabo Fm.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: offshorepoorly lithified
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: original aragonite
Reposited in the AMNH
Collection methods: quarrying,
• Collections reposited at Cornell University and now reside at PRI.
