Where: Colombia (11.9° N, 71.3° W: paleocoordinates 11.8° N, 70.7° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Ware Formation, Late/Upper Pliocene (3.6 - 2.6 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Referred to as the "Capas de Siapana", but likely to belong to the Ware Fm, for which lithostratigraphic relationships are not reported. AGE: Stated by Bürgl to be Middle-Late Miocene, on the macrofossil biostratigraphy; placed by enterer in late Pliocene on the basis of observations on these fossils and strata. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: List representative of group of beds in local area.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
