Station 9529 (Pliocene of Haiti)

Also known as K 30 F

Where: Haiti (18.3° N, 72.5° W: paleocoordinates 18.3° N, 72.1° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pliocene (5.3 - 2.6 Ma)

• Beds resting unconformably on upper Eocene limestone, although in some places they have the same strike and dip as the upper Eocene rocks. At the collecting locality the Pliocene beds are folded.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; poorly lithified, shelly/skeletal, gray, yellow, sandy marl and lithified conglomerate

• No precise environmental information reported in text.
• Consist of conglomerate and marl. The conglomerate is firmly consoldiated, except certain very coarse beds, and conatins pebbles and cobbles of different kinds of limestone, which have a maximum diameter of half a meter. Interbedded with the conglomerate are beds of grey and yellow marl containing sandy and clayey layers. Some of the beds of marl carry perfectly preserved fossils.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Collected by W.S. Burbank, November 16, 1920.
