Where: Gilchrist County, Florida (29.8° N, 82.9° W: paleocoordinates 29.9° N, 75.2° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Williston Limestone Formation (Ocala Group), Priabonian (38.0 - 33.9 Ma)
• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Willistone Limestone of the Ocala Group, for which lithostratigraphic relationships are not discussed. AGE: Upper Eocene in text, consistent with other collections; Jackson Stage = Priabonian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lithified, shelly/skeletal limestone
Collection methods: bulk, core, chemical, mechanical,
• tr = trace of species found, but no volume percentage determined due to low specimen count of this taxa.
