Where: Vanuatu (16.3° S, 167.5° E: paleocoordinates 16.2° S, 167.5° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Miocene (11.6 - 5.3 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unknown lithostratigraphic unit. AGE: Late Miocene in Abrard (1946), presumably on the basis of foraminiferal and macrofossil affinities to other dated Indo-Pacific faunas (e.g. Fiji).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified, volcaniclastic, calcareous siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Collected by de la Rüe in 1934-1936
