PPP Stratigraphic Sections
Composite stratigraphic sections for the Caribbean side of Panama
and Costa Rica can be viewed below. The sections are modified versions of those
published by A.G. Coates in Chapter 1 of "A Paleobiotic Survey of Caribbean
Faunas from the Neogene of the Isthmus of Panama" (L.S. Collins and A.G. Coates,
editors): Bulletins of American Paleontology no. 357. The numbers of individual
sections (to be posted here in the future) are shown in parentheses. Also shown
are a reference map to the localities of sections and a key to the lithologies.
