Where: Jamaica (18.4° N, 77.4° W: paleocoordinates 17.3° N, 76.7° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Brown's Town Limestone Member (Moneague Formation), Early/Lower Oligocene (33.9 - 28.4 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Brownstown Fm of the White Limestone Gp, which unconformably overlies the Gibraltar Limestone Mbr (Late Eocene), and is unconformably overlain by the Montpellier Limestone Mbr (Late Oligocene-Early Miocene). AGE: Oligocene; here placed in Early Oligocene on the basis of stratigraphic relationships. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From an unknown position within local section. LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: Originally assigned to the Brown's Town Limestone. Replaced by Moneague Formation in Stevens (2004).
