Sumagui, Mindoro (Pliocene to of Philippines)

Where: Philippines (12.8° N, 121.5° E: paleocoordinates 12.8° N, 121.5° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Sumagui Formation, Pliocene to Pliocene (5.3 - 0.0 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal; lithology not reported

• Because of the rich molluscan fauna of the Sumagui Formation (reported by Hashimoto 1939) and the coral fauna a shallow water origin (50-100 m) is assumed.

Size class: macrofossils
