Where: Palm Beach County, Florida (26.7° N, 80.7° W: paleocoordinates 26.7° N, 80.7° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Belle Glade Member (Bermont Formation), Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Presumably from Bermont Formation, formely referred to as the "Glades" unit (McGinty 1970, Hoerle 1970), or Unit A (Olsson 1964), which overlies the Caloosahatchee Fm (Plio-Pleistocene) and underlies the Pleistocene Fort Thompson Fm. THICKNESS: Unknown thickness of unit, or strata from which collection was obtained. AGE: Middle Pleistocene. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown position within formation, presumably collection represents the entire unit.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: transition zone or lower shoreface; unlithified, shelly/skeletal, silty marl

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite

Reposited in the FMNH

Collection methods: bulk, quarrying, surface (float),

• COLLECTOR: R.C. Hoerle, S. Hoerle, T.L. McGinty and P. McGinty. REPOSITORY: Probably within private collections, though much of T.L. McGinty's collection is now reposited at FLMNH.
