Where: Northern Mariana Islands (15.0° N, 145.6° E: paleocoordinates 15.0° N, 148.0° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Tagpochau Limestone Formation, Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Tagpochau Lmst, which overlies the Fina Sisu Fm (Early Miocene), and is unconformably overlain by Late Miocene raised terrace deposits and the Mariana Limestone. AGE: Early Miocene on the basis of foraminiferal biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Composite list undifferentiated Mariana Limestone localities.
