Where: Fiji (17.8° S, 178.1° E: paleocoordinates 21.8° S, 177.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Navosa Group, Late/Upper Miocene (11.6 - 5.3 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: poorly lithified lithology not reported

• ENVIRONMENT: Shallow marine carbonate facies.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Not stated, but presumably carbonate. LITHIFICATION: Poorly lithified, on the basis of figured specimens.

Size class: macrofossils
