Station 9832 (Pleistocene of Haiti)

Also known as B 199 F

Where: Haiti (19.8° N, 73.4° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 19.9° N, 73.1° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.0 Ma)

• Marine deposits are common along the coast where they form narrow fringes, a few places 1 or 2 km wide. The Quaternary deposits everywhere rest on the underlying formations unconformably. The unconformity is angular as well as erosional, even with the Pliocene and Miocene, but at some places where there are no Pliocene deposits the discordance with the Miocene deposits may be slight. At St Marc Bay, relatively wide terraces veeered with reef rock or coralliferous limestone cover the promontories north and south of the bay.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; poorly lithified, shelly/skeletal limestone

• No precise environmental information reported in text.
• Coralliferous limestone.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Collected by J.S. Brown, Januray 27, 1920

• Exhaustive list of Mollusca. Other faunal groups (forams, corals, echinoderms) listed in text if present. Nomenclature antiquated (but should be precise as identified by W.P. Woodring and S.T. Stanton). Identifications of corals by T.W. Vaughan, Echinoderms by R.T. Jackson, and forams by W.P. Woodring.
