Also known as W 119 F
Where: Haiti (18.9° N, 72.1° W: paleocoordinates 18.5° N, 71.0° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Aquitanian (23.0 - 20.4 Ma)
• Foraminifera similar to assemblages found in the Emperador Limstone of Panama and the Anguilla Formation of Anguilla. Corals also suggest a Late Oligocene-Early Miocene age. Probably correlated to the Culebra and Emperador Fm's of Panama. Stated in text to be Late Oligocene in age, but the authors specifically refer to the Aquitanian stage, and hence an Early Miocene age (Aquitanian) is assigned. Limestone is several hundred metres thick. Rests unconformably upon a basement of schistose limestone.
