Also known as Loc. 35

Where: Baja California Sur, Mexico (23.2° N, 109.8° W: paleocoordinates 23.1° N, 108.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Salada Formation, Pliocene (5.3 - 2.6 Ma)

• From sandy beds of Salada Formation. At Santa Rosalia more than 400 feet of sediments is seen, although the base is not observed. Considered to be equivalent to beds at Isla Cedros. Posssibly outcrops described as Salada Fm are not all the same age, yet most appear to be Pliocene.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; unlithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Stated that fossils were collected. No repositories reported. Collected by J.B. Smith?
