Where: Marshall Islands (11.4° N, 162.4° E: paleocoordinates 4.0° N, 176.0° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From an undifferentiated lithostratigraphic unit. AGE: Late Eocnee, on the basis of foraminiferal biostratigraphy and stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: A composite list from several beds within this section of drill core, from 2800-2900 ft.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: poorly lithified, shelly/skeletal carbonate

• ENVIRONMENT: Carbonate facies. Shallow water, presumably reefal. No paleoenvironmental data presented.
• LITHOLOGY: Not stated, but presumably carbonate. LITHIFICATION: Poorly-llithified, on the basis of figured specimens.
