Where: San Mateo County, California (37.1° N, 122.3° W: paleocoordinates 37.1° N, 122.3° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• From exposure of terrace deposit. Exposed about 10-15 ft above sea level. Carved out of sandstone of the Pliocene Purisima Formation. Collections from this terrace are largely from burrows and local exposures of reworked fine fossiliferous sand.

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the UCMP, USNM

Collection methods: bulk, quarrying, sieve,

• Figured material at USNM; unfigured specimens formerly at USGS Menlo Park (now UCMP)
