Where: Spain (28.8° N, 13.8° W: paleocoordinates 28.8° N, 13.8° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unnamed lithostratigraphic unit. AGE: Anfatian (= mid Pleistocene) Lecointre et al (1967); Zazo et al (2002): no geochronological dates, but probably Pleistocene age because their morphosedimentary features and faunal contents are similar to Pleistocene terraces. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: 35 m beach, base is usually 32 or 33m.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; sandy conglomerate
Size class: macrofossils
