Where: Florida (25.9° N, 81.3° W: paleocoordinates 26.0° N, 80.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Sarasota Member (Murdock Station Formation), Early/Lower Pliocene (5.3 - 3.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Sarasota Mbr of the Murdock Station Fm, Hawthorn Grp, which is overlies the Jupiter Waterway Mbr of the Murdock Station Fm and is overlain by the Tamiami or Fort Thompson Fms. Correlative with the Yorktown, Goose Neck, and Duplin Fms. THICKNESS: Varies between 1 and 5 m across areal extent. AGE: Early Pliocene. Based on macrofossil biostratigraphy the unit is throught to represent the latest Zanclean. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Checklist representative of entire member.
