Where: Florida (27.0° N, 82.2° W: paleocoordinates 27.2° N, 80.3° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• basin-level geographic resolution
When: Cocoplum Member (Bayshore Formation), Tortonian (11.6 - 7.2 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Cocoplum Mbr of the Bayshore Fm, Hawthorn Grp, which is overlain by the Port Charlotte Mbr of the Bayshore Fm. Correlative with the Eastover Fm. THICKNESS: Averages about 1.5 m across areal extent. AGE: Late Miocene. Based on macrofossil biostratigraphy the unit is throught to represent the late Tortonian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Checklist representative of entire member.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; poorly lithified, phosphatic, brown, silty, sandy dolomite
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Unknown, presumably the authors and others. REPOSITORY: No repository stated.
