Where: Pinar del Rio, Cuba (22.7° N, 83.5° W: paleocoordinates 22.7° N, 83.5° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• "late Pleistocene. Radiometric date (14C) from a sample of long bones of... Tyto noeli Arredondo, directly in association with the type material [of Phyllops silvai]... gave an age of 17,406 +/- 161 rcybp. Calibration (95% confidence interval) of the same sample gave ages from 20,050 to 21,747 ybp...The excavated site is more than 2 m in depth, with eight layers... Fossils of Phyllops silvai [and associated taxa] were recovered at layer VII (1.00 to 1.60 m depth...)"
