Geography
Country:Haiti
Coordinates: 19.8° North, 72.9° West (view map)
Paleocoordinates:19.8° North, 72.8° West
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Altitude:551 meters
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period:Quaternary Epoch:Pleistocene
10 m.y. bin:Cenozoic 6
Key time interval:Pleistocene
Age range of interval:2.58000 - 0.01170 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Local section:Arrondissement of Port-de-Paix
Regional section:Port-de-Paix
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: Marine deposits are common along the coast where they form narrow fringes, a few places 1 or 2 km wide. The Quaternary deposits everywhere rest on the underlying formations unconformably. The unconformity is angular as well as erosional, even with the Pliocene and Miocene, but at some places where there are no Pliocene deposits the discordance with the Miocene deposits may be slight. At Port de Paix, the bed (station 9764) is 1.5 m thick, comprised of shelly sand and overlies unconslidated sands and is overlain by reef rock (station 9765). The entire section is just 7. 1 m thick.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:pebbly,shelly/skeletal unlithified "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: Waterworn pebbles, poorly consolidated, in matrix of sand; lenses of sand containing worn shells and small pieces of corals.
Environment:shallow subtidal indet.
Geology comments: No precise environmental information reported in text.
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body
Size of fossils:macrofossils
Preservation of anatomical detail:poor
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods:selective quarrying,field collection
Reason for describing collection:general faunal/floral analysis
Collection method comments: Collected by W.P. Woodring, February 21, 1921
Taxonomic list comments:Exhaustive list of Mollusca. Other faunal groups (forams, corals, echinoderms) listed in text if present. Nomenclature antiquated (but should be precise as identified by W.P. Woodring and S.T. Stanton). Identifications of corals by T.W. Vaughan, Echinoderms by R.T. Jackson, and forams by W.P. Woodring.
