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

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

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

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From what Arnold (1903) considered the "Pliocene" [=Timms Point Silt]: AGE: Middle Pleistocene (~0.6-0.4 Ma) based on current understanding of the Timms Point Silt. STRATIGRAPHIC RESOLUTION: List is exhaustive of the Timms Point Silt in a relatively small geographic area, so given stratigraphic resolution of formation.

Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified siltstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite
