Where: Venezuela (10.6° N, 64.3° W: paleocoordinates 10.5° N, 63.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Cerro Negro Formation (Cubagua Group), Early/Lower Pliocene (5.3 - 3.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Cerro Negro Fm of the Cubagua Gp (Late Miocene-Pliocene), which overlies the La Güica Fm; Jung (1989) treats this as the Cerro Negro Mbr of the Cubagua Formation, but the Cubagua is now raised to group status. AGE: Early Pliocene; mostly likely falls within the Globorotalia margaritae Zone (Boli,& Bermudez, 1965; and other refs). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; unlithified siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the NMB

Collection methods: surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: Unknown. REPOSITORY: Naturhistorisches Museum Basel, Switzerland (NMB).
