Figure 5: Detailed map of the area to the west of Ulster Spring (Trelawny) showing samples (those with miogypsinids in blue). The road transect (samples WL3804 - WL3810 shows foraminifers in their correct stratigraphic positions according to the theory of nepionic acceleration (Tan, 1936, 1937; Drooger, 1952) suggesting a low dip of the strata to the east (the limestones are largely unbedded).
