LACMIP loc. 10888, Santiago Peak (Cretaceous of the United States)
Also known as CIT loc. 981
Where: Orange County, California (33.7° N, 117.6° W: paleocoordinates 34.7° N, 81.3° W)
When: Baker Canyon Member (Ladd Formation), Turonian (93.9 - 89.8 Ma)
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; sandstone
• "The strata...were deposited along a shoreline in warm, very shallow sublittoral water (Saul, 1982). The sedimentological details of the Baker Canyon Member indicate a fluctuating, moderate to high-energy, lower to upper shoreface paleoenvironment associated with a fan-delta setting (Cooper et al.1982)"
• "fossiliferous sandstone overlaying the gray basal conglomerate"
Size class: macrofossils
