Where: Colombia (12.3° N, 71.3° W: paleocoordinates 11.6° N, 68.2° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Capas de Chimare Formation, Burdigalian to Burdigalian (20.4 - 13.8 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Referred to as the "Capas de Chimare", but possibly equivalent to the Jimol Fm of Cocinetas Basin (further S on Peninsula La Guajira). AGE: Stated by Bürgl to be Middle Miocene, on the macrofossil biostratigraphy; placed by enterer in Burdigalian-Langhian on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy and Sr isotope dating in Cocinetas Basin. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within stratigraphy.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils
