Reef 1+ 2 subtidal deposit, San Salvador Island (Pleistocene of Bahamas)

Where: Bahamas (24.0° N, 74.5° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Cockburn Town Member (Grotto Beach Formation), Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; poorly lithified grainstone

• carbonate sand facies

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original aragonite

Collection methods: bulk, surface (in situ),

• JA: the three collections together came from "twenty-one quadrats" each of "0.5-m2... separated into 50-decimeter2 areas... organized as 10 rows and 5 columns": because area and not volume measures are reported, the samples are apparently surface in situ and not screened

Purpose of describing collection: paleoecologic analysis
