Where: Cape May County, New Jersey (39.1° N, 74.7° W: paleocoordinates 39.3° N, 70.3° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Shiloh Marl Member (Kirkwood Formation), Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)

• No lithostratigraphic details or stratigraphic relationships provided in text. Equivalent in age and slightly older than the Calvert Formaiton of Maryland and Virginia. Overlain by the Cohansey Sand with a time transgressive contact, Kirkwood Formation is Burdigalian-Langhian in age. Collections from between depths of 375 and 815 ft.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; poorly lithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Reposited in the ANSP collections. From Richards and Harbison (1943): "The Woolman Collection yielded miocene fossils between the depths of 375 amd 815 ft in an Avalon well. Unfortunately, the best collection of shells has no data as to depth.
