Where: Los Angeles County, California (33.7° N, 118.3° W: paleocoordinates 33.7° N, 118.3° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Timms Point Silt Formation, Middle Pleistocene (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From "Timms Point beds", which locally overly Miocene shale. AGE: Pleistocene, following Clark (1931), but edited to middle Pleistocene by enterer on the basis of established modern age control. STRATIGRAPHIC DETAILS: Stratigraphic position uncertain due to slumping.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; unlithified siltstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite

Collected by W. Woodring in 1928; reposited in the CIT, LACM

Collection methods: bulk, surface (float), surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: W. Woodring,1928. REPOSITORY: LACMIP, including former CIT collections.
