Where: Dominican Republic (19.6° N, 70.8° W: paleocoordinates 19.4° N, 69.6° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Burdigalian to Burdigalian (20.4 - 13.8 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; amber
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: soft parts, original chitin, amber
Reposited in the USNM
