Brachiopods, Locality B2, Antillean region (Pleistocene of Barbados)
Where: Barbados (13.3° N, 59.6° W: paleocoordinates 13.3° N, 59.5° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.0 Ma)
Environment/lithology: deep subtidal shelf; limestone
• Trechmann (1937) published a measured lithological section, and listed a fauna of benthic molluscs, pteropods and brachiopods from this locality that is much less diverse than that from Whitehaven; it is unclear whether this is an artefact of the easier access at the latter locality.
Size class: macrofossils
