Paleocoordinates:9.1° North, 78.4° West
Basis of coordinate:estimated from map
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period:Neogene Epoch:Miocene
Stage:Tortonian 10 m.y. bin:Cenozoic 6
Key time interval:Tortonian
Age range of interval:11.63000 - 7.24600 m.y. ago

Stratigraphy
Formation:Gatun Member:lower Gatun
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: Same stratigraphic position as previous collection (52169). Lower part of the Gatun Formation. The Gatun Formation is sibdivided into three faunal zones (proposed by Thomson and Keen, 1946): lower, middle, and upper. AGE: Tortonian based on more recent dating (Hendy, 2012). Sr dating for nearby sections indicates an age of approximately 11.5 Ma (Hendy, unpublished data)
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:fine poorly lithified silty sandstone
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: SPECIFIC: Silty fine-grained sandstone. GENERAL: Massive medium-to very fine-grained sandstone and siltstone. Somewhat calcareous, or marly, somewhat tuffaceous, and with a clay-like matrix. The lower part of the formation consists principally of medium-very fine-grained sandstone.
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: No specific environmental data presented.

Modes of preservation:body
Size of fossils:macrofossils
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods:selective quarrying,field collection
