Where: Manabi, Ecuador (0.5° N, 80.0° W: paleocoordinates 0.3° S, 77.2° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Santiago Facies Group, Middle Miocene (16.0 - 11.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHY: no additional information provided. AGE: Placed in Early Miocene by Olsson (1964); regarded as late Miocene by Landau et al. (2012); a Middle or Late Miocene age is more parsimonious on the basis of its faunal constituents.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marginal marine; lithified, coarse-grained sandstone and lithified, tuffaceous, gray sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
