Where: Portugal (36.9° N, 25.1° W: paleocoordinates 36.9° N, 25.1° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From unnamed Late Quaternary marine deposits. AGE: Pleistocene. No basis for age given in text, but presumably is based on macrofaunal biostratigraphy and stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Succession is situated about 2ยท3 meters above the present low tide, and built of a basal conglomerate with algal-limestone concretions followed by 0.80 to 1.50 m of fossiliferous beach sands.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, concretionary, calcareous conglomerate and shelly/skeletal sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: original aragonite
Collection methods: bulk, surface (in situ),
• COLLECTOR: Unknown, from collections identified by Mayer (1864), Zbyszewski & Ferreira (1961). REPOSITORY: Not stated in text.
