“…Although the numerical age of formations in southern California that span the Plio-Pleistocene boundary remains uncertain due to how the data were originally collected and current refinement of the biostratigraphy, we broke the data down into four-time bins: Holocene (0-11,700 yBP), late Pleistocene (11,700-126,000 yBP), middle Pleistocene (126,000-781,000 yBP), and late Pliocene (~2.6-3.6 Ma) (Fig. 2) (Woodring and Bramlette 1946, Yerkes et al 1965, Bowersox 2005, Buczek et al 2020.…”
