Where: Haiti (19.8° N, 72.9° W: paleocoordinates 19.8° N, 72.8° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.0 Ma)

• Marine deposits are common along the coast where they form narrow fringes, a few places 1 or 2 km wide. The Quaternary deposits everywhere rest on the underlying formations unconformably. The unconformity is angular as well as erosional, even with the Pliocene and Miocene, but at some places where there are no Pliocene deposits the discordance with the Miocene deposits may be slight. At Port de Paix, the bed (station 9765) is 3.6 m thick, comprised of reef rock and overlies poorly consolidated sands (station 9765). The entire section is just 7. 1 m thick.
