| Vaughan et al. loc. 8601 - Arroyo Jerguen | Vaughan T. W., Cooke W., et al (1921) | Cevicos Limestone | AGE ASSIGNMENT: Upper Oligocene according to Vaughan et al. Faunas are meager and correlation is uncertain, but if it is correct deposits of the same age occur in the islands of Anguilla, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Florida, Panama and Trinidad. These deposits are correlated with the Chattian-Aquitanian of Europe. Eames et al. (1962) assigned the Cevicos to the Burdigalian, while Van Den Bold (1974) assigned correlative units in Haiti to the Middle Miocene. Dorreen dated a foraminifera sample from the Ce | "limestone" | 15.97 - 13.82 Ma Miocene |
| Vaughan et al. loc. 8602 - Arroyo Jerguen | Vaughan T. W., Cooke W., et al (1921) | Cervicos Limestone | AGE ASSIGNMENT: Upper Oligocene according to Vaughan et al. Faunas are meager and correlation is uncertain, but if it is correct deposits of the same age occur in the islands of Anguilla, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Florida, Panama and Trinidad. These deposits are correlated with the Chattian-Aquitanian of Europe. I have assigned this an Late Oligocene age, pending more refined biostratigraphic data. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: no stratigraphic data provided. | "limestone" | 28.4 - 23.03 Ma Cenozoic |
