• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Crystal River Limestone Formation (Ocala Group), Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

Collection methods: quarrying,

• SOURCE: Based on field collecting. REPOSITORIES: Unknown repository for molluscs, echinoids and foraminifera, presumably Florida Geological Survey.
