Station 9601 (Oligocene of Haiti)

Also known as W 60 F

Where: Haiti (18.3° N, 73.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Rupelian (33.9 - 28.1 Ma)

• No named lithostratigraphic unit described in text. On account of stratigraphic relationships to Gulf Coastal Plain microfaunas, this collection is assigned an Early Oligocene, Rupelian, age. Deposits are mostly seen as float or in isolated exposures, an therefore stratigraphic an structural relationships are obscure.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: poorly lithified, concretionary, white, cherty/siliceous limestone

• No precise environmental information reported in text. Rock is crumpled and slickensided
• Granular white limestone containing nodules of chert.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Collected by W.P. Woodring, November 1, 1920.

Taxonomic list

• Small list of Mollusca, probably not exhaustive, other faunal groups (forams, corals, echinoderms) listed in text if present. Nomenclature antiquated (but should be precise as identified by W.P. Woodring and S.T. Stanton) and often limited to sp. determinations (owing to poor, moldic preservation). Identifications of corals by T.W. Vaughan, Echinoderms by R.T. Jackson, and forams by W.P. Woodring.
