Also known as USGS 12215; W51-30

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

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Timms Point Silt Formation, Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Timms Point Silt, which is locally overlain by the San Pedro Sand; it is possible that this is infact from the San Pedro Sand. AGE: Lower Pleistocene in Woodring et al. (1946) and Valentine PhD, but is now regarded as Middle Pleistocene [A. Hendy]. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From Unit 2 of Timms Point Silt.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; poorly lithified siltstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite
