Figure 2. Thin-section micrographs of P. floridanus n. isp. in Pleistocene deposits of south Florida. (1) Slightly oblique sections through several microcoprolites; skeletal packstone with quartz; core W2, depth 45.2 m; (2) close-up of same sample; (3) longitudinal section through microcoprolite, skeletal packstone, core W2, depth 45.2 m. (4) Cross-section through microcoprolite (ichnoholotype); skeletal packstone; note recrystallization of mollusk shell; Cocoplum Circle. (5) Cross-section through microcoprolite; oolitic grainstone; Cocoplum Circle. (6) Longitudinal section through microcoprolite; oolitic grainstone; Cocoplum Circle.
National Park (25°25'23.3''N, 80°40'43.6''W). The Cocoplum Circle outcrop has been described by Halley et al. (1977), Halley and Evans (1983), and Neal et al. (2008). The rotary
cores include W9 (Key Largo, Jewfish Creek), WP (Basin Hill Shoals), WB (Florida Bay), and W2 (Grassy Key), which have penetrated the Key Largo Limestone (Multer et al., 2002).
