Also known as UALP locality 78121

Where: Pima County, Arizona (32.6° N, 110.7° W: paleocoordinates 32.5° N, 110.7° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Pleistocene to Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• a "radiocarbon date of 6080 +/- 250 B.P." on "endocarps of Celtis reticulata" is rejected as "too young by at least 2000 years" because the sample is thought to have been "contaminated by carbonates in percolating water" that was definitely present, suggesting a very late Pleistocene or early Holocene age to the authors

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: cave; unlithified, pebbly, brown, calcareous siltstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: bone collector
