Where: Puerto Rico (18.4° N, 67.0° W: paleocoordinates 17.6° N, 66.0° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• hand sample-level geographic resolution
When: Lares Limestone Formation, Late/Upper Oligocene (28.4 - 23.0 Ma)
• correlates with the Paynes Hammock (i.e., late Oligocene: see Dockerey 1986)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; white marl
Size class: microfossils
Collected by W. A. Gordon
Collection methods: bulk, chemical, sieve,
• Lousiana State University collection
•samples consist of "washed residues" that I assume were chemically treated because most come from presumably lithified marls and limestones
