Where: Marion County, Florida (29.4° N, 82.2° W: paleocoordinates 29.4° N, 82.2° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Arredondo Member (Wicomico Formation), Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)

• from the 13 foot thick "Bed 2" in the local section, the only unit representing the Arredondo Member; the "Arredondo clay presumably represents the Illinoian glacial stage of the Pleistocene... I do not believe the bones... represent animals of Sangamon age, but rather they were reworked from the top of the Illinoian bed by the encroaching sea"

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: sinkhole; blue claystone

Size class: mesofossils

Collected by P. Brodkorb in 31, 1957
