Where: Pamlico County, North Carolina (35.1° N, 76.9° W: paleocoordinates 35.1° N, 76.9° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Beard Creek Member (Flanner Beach Formation), Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Beard Creek Mbr of the Flanner Beach Fm, which underlies the Arapahoe Sand Mbr, and overlies the Smith Gut Mbr. The Flanner Beach Fm is disconforamably overlying the James City Fm, and further overlain by the Core Creek Sand. AGE: Middle Pleistocene, based on a number of dating methods; uranium-series and amino acid dating suggest ~200,000 yrs. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unit C of the Beard Creek Mbr, in the lower part of the section.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, fine-grained, gray, blue sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression, original aragonite
