Planktic foraminifer occurrence data from SE Virginia and Florida Pliocene samples

A total of 29 samples were collected and analyzed for presence/absence of key planktic foraminifer species for the purpose of age verification of select US Atlantic Coastal Plain Pliocene stratigraphic units. These samples were collected from an outcrop located in Carters Grove, Virginia (19 samples), and the Phred1 core located west of Vero Beach, Florida (10 samples). Six samples from the Phred1 core were barren of planktic foraminifera.
