Where: Japan (34.4° N, 136.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Sakishima Formation, Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Sakishima Fm, the highest of three Pleistocene terraces developed in the Shima Peninsula. Previously referred to as the Ugata Fm and Kiba Silt. Correlated to the Atsumi Fm. AGE: Pleistocene in text, but placed in Late Pleistocene on the basis of stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Presumably from the silt-sand near the base of the section (0-2 m in Fig. 2 of Itoigawa and Ogawa, 1973)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: transition zone or lower shoreface; unlithified, sandy siltstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by Ogawa in 1967

Collection methods: bulk,

• COLLECTOR: H. Ogawa, 1973. REPOSITORY: Not stated, but presumably Tokohu University.
