Age. Rancholabrean (Jefferson 1991a).
This may be the same site as the San Pedro Lumber Company, but this is uncertain; Jefferson gives the age for this site as Rancholabrean and from the San Pedro Sand, whereas the Lumber Company site is given as Sangamon and from the Palos Verdes Sand (Jefferson 1991b). Jefferson (1991a, 1991b) is followed here in presenting these as separate sites.
