Where: Dominican Republic (19.6° N, 71.3° W: paleocoordinates 19.6° N, 70.8° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• From an individual section. Unknown formation at the time of publication (Possibly Cercado, Gurabo or Mao). On the basis of faunal similarity this is correlated to upper units on Rio Cana, which more recent work suggested is Gurabo Fm.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshorepoorly lithified

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original aragonite

Reposited in the AMNH

Collection methods: quarrying,

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