Map of Quaternary marine terraces and late Pleistocene terrestrial vertebrate fossil localities northwest of Point San Luis, California (modified from Hanson et al. 1990). Locality numbers are from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Vertebrate Paleontology Section (LACM). Vertebrate remains have been recovered from both marine lag deposits and alluvial sediments that lie on the lowest wave-cut platform. Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM) Vertebrate Paleontology Section locality 5802 is in a sea-cliff exposure adjacent to the east side of the mouth of Pecho Creek, km northwest of Point San Luis (Fig. 2). Here, the exposed wave-cut platform is eroded into Cretaceous sandstone at an elevation of ± m above mean sea-level (MSL). The platform is covered with 80 cm of near-shore.
