Where: Florida (25.9° N, 81.3° W: paleocoordinates 26.0° N, 80.7° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• basin-level geographic resolution
When: Buckingham Member (Tamiami Formation), Late/Upper Pliocene (3.6 - 2.6 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Buckingham Mbr of the Tamiami Fm, Okeechobee Grp, which is overlain by the Pinecrest Mbr of the Tamiami Fm, and overlies the Sarasota Mbr of the Murdock Station Fm. Correlative with the Yorktown, Chowan River, Goose Neck, Duplin, and Jackson Bluff Fms. THICKNESS: Varies between 7 and 60 m across areal extent. AGE: Late Pliocene. Based on macrofossil biostratigraphy the unit is throught to represent the early to late Piacenzian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Checklist representative of entire member.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; unlithified, phosphatic, sandy limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: cast, mold/impression
Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Unknown, presumably the authors and others. REPOSITORY: No repository stated.
