Wallingford Roadside Cave

Worthy Park I Cave, Jamaica (Fig lb), is very similar to Wallingford Roadside Cave. The fossil-bearing deposit is an indurated clay plastered onto the walls of the entrance chamber, containing bones of Clidomys together with remains of freshwater turtle and frogs. The deposit is partially overlain with a flowstone that has yielded a U/Th age of 174 +13, -12 ka, which places it in marine isotope stage 6 (McFarlane et al., 1998).
