Where: Trinidad and Tobago (10.5° N, 61.2° W)
• Paleocoordinates: 10.7° N, 55.0° W (Wright 2013)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unknown lithostratigraphic unit. THICKNESS: Unknown AGE: Stated to be "Lower Miocene" in text, but potentially could be younger in more recent revisions; an Early Miocene age is presently assigned. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; poorly lithified siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Collected by Penny, Bullbrook; reposited in the USNM
• COLLECTORS: F. W. Penny and J. A. Bullbrook (unknown date, but presumably during the 1910's-early 1920's). REPOSITORY: USNM.
