Also known as USGS Loc. 6237

Where: Panama (9.0° N, 79.6° W: paleocoordinates 8.0° N, 77.2° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: lower Member (Culebra Formation), Aquitanian (23.0 - 20.4 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Culebra Formation, which unconformably overlies the Las Cascadas agglomerate; reassigned to La Boca Fm in subsequent publications of Woodring (e.g., 1973, 1982), but further emended by Kirby et al. (2009) to the lower member of the Culebra Formation. AGE: Early Miocene in text; direct date extrapolated from Kirby et al. (1999), =Aquitanian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Limestone.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils
