Where: Los Angeles County, California (33.7° N, 118.3° W: paleocoordinates 33.7° N, 118.3° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Palos Verdes Sand Formation, Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From what Crickmay (1929) considered the "upper San Pedro Series" [=San Pedro Sand]. AGE: Late Pleistocene (~0.125-0.08 Ma) based on current understanding of the Palos Verdes Sand. STRATIGRAPHIC COMMENTS: Lying horizontally upon the beveled edge of zone 7 there is a

•curious deposit composed of shells most of which are greatly wave-worn and broken, pebbles, and a matrix of fine silt.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified, shelly/skeletal, gray sandstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite
