Where: Los Angeles County, California (34.1° N, 118.3° W: paleocoordinates 33.6° N, 115.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Yorba Member (Puente Formation), Tortonian (11.6 - 7.2 Ma)

• An integrated micropaleontological study of benthic foraminiferans, calcareous nannoplankton, and diatoms suggests that the fossiliferous levels of LACM locality 6202 can be referred to early late Miocene.
