Where: California (33.8° N, 118.3° W: paleocoordinates 33.8° N, 118.3° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Lomita Marl Formation, Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Lomita Marl, which is locally overlain by the Timms Point Silt and San Pedro Sand. AGE: Early Pleistocene in Woodring et al. (1946) and Valentine PhD, but is now regarded as Middle Pleistocene [A. Hendy]. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: List is representation of formation at two distinct sections.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; unlithified, sandy, calcareous marl

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite

Collected by W. Woodring; reposited in the LACM

Collection methods: surface (float), surface (in situ)

• COLLECTOR: W. Woodring, presumably late 1920s. REPOSITORY: Probably at NHMLA.
