Also known as LACMIP Loc. 16655; LACMIP loc. 41563

Where: Thurston County, Washington (48.0° N, 123.1° W: paleocoordinates 51.9° N, 103.4° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: CP10-11 nannofossil zone, Crescent Formation, Ypresian (56.0 - 47.8 Ma)

• Middle early Eocene age ("Capay Stage"), upper part of the Crescent Formation. ore recent information suggests that the “Capay” stage is Early Eocene with an age of ~50.5 to 53 Ma B.P. (e.g., Squires, 1997). Given as CP 9-11 in Squires 1997, so the upper part would be CP10-11.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: sand shoal; silty mudstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Reposited in the LACM
