Also known as B 229 F
Where: Haiti (19.4° N, 72.7° W: paleocoordinates 18.1° N, 72.2° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)
• Unnamed lithostratigraphic unit. Contact with Plaisance limestone is unconformable, marked by a fault. The Late Eocene limestone also rests unconformably on the floor of igneus and other Mesozoic rocks. Thickness ranges between several hundred meters and 1000-2000 meters. Foraminifera clearly indicate a Late Eocene age. Molluscan affinities with other West Indian, Central and South American faunas also suggest a Late Eocene age. Correlated with the St Bartholomew Limestone of St Bartholomew.
