Where: Dominican Republic (19.5° N, 70.9° W: paleocoordinates 19.5° N, 70.5° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Gurabo Formation, Early/Lower Pliocene (5.3 - 3.6 Ma)

• List from several bluffs of claystone. From unknown formation at the time of publication (Possibly Cercado, Gurabo or Mao). On the basis of faunal similarity this is correlated to Bluff #1 on Rio Mao and Zones A-F on Rio Gurabo, which more recent work suggested is Gurabo Fm.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; poorly lithified, blue claystone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original aragonite

Reposited in the PRI

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Collections reposited at Cornell University and now reside at PRI.
