LACMIP loc. 58, Capistrano Beach (Pleistocene) (Pleistocene of the United States)
Where: Orange County, California (33.5° N, 117.7° W: paleocoordinates 33.4° N, 117.3° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.0 Ma)
• deposit remains unnamed, according to Powell II 2010
Environment/lithology: coastal; claystone and brown sandstone
• "A study of the species indicates a shallow water assemblage, probably of less than 5 fathoms. That the water was colder than it is in the same region today appears to be demonstrated by the occurrence of such species as Cardium corbis (Mart), Pseudomelatoma torosa (Cpr.), Olivella pedroana (Conr.), Tritonalia subangulata (Stearns), Bittium ornatissimum Bartsch, and Dia- dora aspera (Esch.). To find these species in shallow water at the present time, it would be necessary to go north to some point between Point Conception and Monterey. "
• "The fossiliferous vein, a foot or more in depth, was on the slope of a hill and covered by 10 to 12 inches of clay. Below the vein was brown sand of an undetermined depth."
Size class: macrofossils
