Where: Hillsborough County, Florida (27.7° N, 82.4° W)
• Paleocoordinates: 28.1° N, 81.7° W (Wright 2013)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Early/Lower Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.8 Ma)
• SOURCE: collection from 4.3 m thick "Lower shell bed", of Bermont Formation. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: overlies unconformably dolomite of the Arcadia Formation (Miocene) and is overlain by the "Bone Bed", also of the Bermont Formation. BIOSTRATIGRAPHY: apparently an Irvingtonian mammal age, Early Pleistocene. Local section name = Leisey, Basinal/regional section name = Hillsborough.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified, shelly/skeletal, blue, sandy mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sediments
• ENVIRONMENT: no environmental data reported; shallow marine environment.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Bluish, sandy, massive shell bed.
Size class: mesofossils
Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite
Reposited in the FMNH
Collection methods: bulk, quarrying,
• COLLECTOR: Morgan and Hulbert (1989). REPOSITORY: unknown repository, probably FMNH.
