Also known as W 317 F
Where: Haiti (18.4° N, 72.8° W: paleocoordinates 18.4° N, 72.3° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pliocene (5.3 - 2.6 Ma)
• Thick coralliferous limestone overlies the Miocene rocks. Believed to be either Pliocene or Pleistocene, but probably Pliocene because the beds are more greatly deformed.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; poorly lithified, shelly/skeletal limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: quarrying,
• Collected by T.W. Vaughan and W.P. Woodring, March 6, 1921.
