Also known as NMB Loc. 17772
Where: Limon, Costa Rica (9.9° N, 83.1° W: paleocoordinates 9.8° N, 83.4° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Rio Banano Formation (Limon Group), Piacenzian (3.6 - 2.6 Ma)
• The Rio Banano Formation sits diachronously with abrupt lithological transition on the Uscari Formation, mostly conformably and sometimes disconformably. The Rio Banano Formation passes conformably into the Quebrada Chocolate Formation in the area immediately west of Limon but throughout most of the southern Limon Basin it is unconformably overlain by the breccia and coarse grained volcaniclastics of the Suretka Formation. AGE: direct date extrapolated from Bybell (1999) and Collins et al. (1999).
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: deltaic; bioturbated, coarse-grained, concretionary, tuffaceous sandstone and burrowed, tuffaceous, silty siltstone
Size class: macrofossils
