UCMP C-14091, Manantial (Paleocene of Colombia)

Where: Colombia (11.1° N, 72.7° W: paleocoordinates 8.5° N, 59.3° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Manantial Formation, Selandian (61.6 - 59.2 Ma)

• From a bed 2 cm-thick, near the top of informal "Formation II" of Haught, Colley, and Belding (Tropical Oil Company), which is the Manantial Formation according to Etayo-Serna. Belongs to palynological zone T-02 to T-03a (Ayala et al. 2012), which are correlated with the middle Paleocene according to Jaramillo et al. (2011) on the basis of carbon isotopes.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: paralic; fine-grained, shelly/skeletal, calcareous sandstone

• According to Etayo-Serna, "Probably lived at a depth between the low tide mark down to thirty meters and was concentrated in a channel or inlet." According to Jaramillo et al. (2007): Upper Manantial Formation contains lenticular, wavy and ripple lamination, and moderate bioturbation at some levels. Cross beds are identified in sandstones near the top. These deposits accumulated in a mixed shallow platform to fine-grained subtidal environments (lagoons), crossed by subtidal channels at the top. Interpreted as a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic marginal to shallow-marine platform by Bayona et al. (2011).
• Calcareous quartzitic fine-grained sandstone to packed biomicrite

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
