Where: Barbados (13.2° N, 59.6° W: paleocoordinates 13.2° N, 59.6° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Coral Rock Formation, Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• Said to be "Pliocene Coral Rock" but this is based on Trechmann's assumption that the lowest deposits were Pliocene. The lowest terrace is now known to be late Pleistocene (MIS 5), around 125 ka in Schellmann & Radtke (2004).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the BMNH
