This part of the data release lists 18 localities where the shells of the tiger lucine Codakia orbicularis, a large marine bivalve, have been found on Anegada. Typically the shells were encountered a few tens of centimeters below ground in pits dug into sand. Most of the examples listed in the dataset were previously reported in https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01356.l -- field occurrences described p. 322, provenance interpreted p. 324, discordant radiocarbon ages discussed p. 324, and examples illustrated and mapped in Figure A9. The radiocarbon ages from lucines tabulated in this data set range across six radiocarbon centuries.
