Also known as Loc. 63
Where: Williamsburg County, South Carolina (33.4° N, 79.7° W: paleocoordinates 34.5° N, 62.6° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Black Mingo Formation, Late/Upper Paleocene (58.7 - 55.8 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Black Mingo, which presumably regionally unconformably overlies the PeeDee Fm and is unconformably overlain by the McBean Fm; the formation is laterally equialent to the Aquia Fm and the Wilcox Gp. AGE: Paleocene in text; here assigned to Late Paleocene on the basis of more recent biostratigraphic dating. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From upper unit (3 ft thick sand).
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; glauconitic, shelly/skeletal, yellow sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
