Also known as USGS 14009
Where: Nuevo Leon, Mexico (25.8° N, 99.2° W: paleocoordinates 26.9° N, 91.9° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Upper Member (Jackson Formation), Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)
• The Jackson Group of Mexico and the Gulf Coastal Plain is here considered as a formation. The Jackson Formation can be subdivided into three members, the basal "Roma Sandstone" and middle and upper members (no lithostratigraphic name). No comments are made on relations to Gulf Coastal Plain units, but the enterer considers that the Jackson Formation of this collection is equivalent in age (late Eocene) as the Jackson Group (Gulf Coastal Plain). Collection is from a thin calcareous sandstone in the upper member of the formation
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; brown, calcareous sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the USNM
Collection methods: quarrying,
• Collections reposited in USGS and USNM collections.
