Where: San Diego County, California (33.1° N, 117.3° W: paleocoordinates 33.3° N, 104.1° W)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial; siltstone

• ~0.6 m thick, gray-green, fine grained sandy siltstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collection methods: quarrying, sieve

• approximately ~2900 kg of sediment were hand quarried and screenwashed
