F-1 (1000-1100 ft), Eniwetok Atol (Miocene of Marshall Islands)

Where: Marshall Islands (11.7° N, 162.2° E: paleocoordinates 7.3° N, 172.3° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Middle Miocene (16.0 - 11.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From an undifferentiated lithostratigraphic unit. AGE: Middle Miocene, on the basis of foraminiferal biostratigraphy and stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: A composite from several beds within the section of drill core of 1000-1100 ft.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: poorly lithified carbonate

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