Coordinates: 8.9° North, 79.7° West (view map)
Paleocoordinates:
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period: Quaternary Epoch: Pleistocene - Holocene
Stage: Late Pleistocene 10 m.y. bin: Cenozoic 6
Key time interval: Late Pleistocene - Holocene
Age range of interval: 0.129 - 0 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Pacific Muck
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Pacific Muck, which unconformably overlies various strata of Miocene age in the Panama Canal Basin, including the Culebra [+La Boca] and Panama formations. AGE: Late Pleistocene-Holocene, on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy and stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Ex-situ deposit, from at least two presumably closely-spaced subsurface horizons.
