Where: Colombia (12.1° N, 71.4° W: paleocoordinates 11.1° N, 67.8° W)

• coordinate stated in text

When: Siamaná Formation, Aquitanian to Aquitanian (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)

• presence Siderastrea siderea, Mimachlamys canalis and principally the large benthic foraminifera assemblages point to an early Miocene age

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; reef rocks

• mainly shallow-water marine carbonates deposited over the basement rocks of the Cocinas, Jarara, and Macuira paleoislands. Coral reefs grew fringing the paleoislands

• formation consists of conglomerates, sandstones, and fossiliferous limestones

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
