Where: Calhoun County, Florida (30.3° N, 85.2° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 32.9° N, 77.8° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Chipola Formation (Alum Bluff Group), Burdigalian (20.4 - 16.0 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Chipola Fm of the Alum Bluff Gp, for which lithostratigraphic relationships are not discussed.
