Where: Alachua County, Florida (29.8° N, 82.6° W: paleocoordinates 29.9° N, 75.0° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Ocala Formation, Priabonian (38.0 - 33.9 Ma)

• 50 feet below the surface, "Vicksburgian." The Ocala Limestone was correlated with the Vicksburg Limestone when it was discovered in the late 1800s, so this locality is most likely the Ocala Limestone.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, shelly/skeletal limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by L.M. Everett in 1896; reposited in the USNM
