Loc. 12 - Mariel, eastern Matanzas Province (Pleistocene of Cuba)
Where: Cuba (22.5° N, 80.9° W: paleocoordinates 22.6° N, 80.7° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.0 Ma)
• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: No lithostratigraphic units named in text. AGE: Pleistocene (Richards 1935, 1962) based on the high proportion of Recent species. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Terrace up to 25 ft in elevation.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: poorly lithified, shelly/skeletal, sandy limestone
• ENVIRONMENT: No environmental data reported in text. From carbonate facies, hence carbonate environment. SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY: From terrace, hence transgressive.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Limestone and sand, coral and shells in limestone and loose. LITHIFICATION: No indication of lithification, but assumed to be poorly-lithified on the basis of age and lithologic description of adjacent collections (i.e. loose shells). No figured specimens.
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the CM
• COLLECTORS: Collected by H.G. Richards and R.E. Dickerson (1933). REPOSITORIES: Collections held in the Carnegie Museum.
