Collected by members of the Southern California Academy of Sciences (Howard 1935: 251).</p><p><i>Type locality</i>.—‘North bank of “pool” near Wilshire Boulevard, Rancho La Brea, Los Angeles, California’, USA (Howard 1935: 253).</p><p><i>Referred material</i>.— <b>Carpometacarpus</b>: proximal end of right, MNHNCu 75.4602 (fig. 1E [internal]). <b>Tibiotarsus</b>: distal end of right, MNHNCu 75.4603 (fig. 1D [distal]). <b>Tarsometatarsus</b>: left, MNHNCu 75.4757 (Suárez 2020a: 10, fig. 4: E [proximal], F [distal], G [anterior], H [medial], I [posterior]); proximal end of left (immature), MNHNCu 75.4604 (fig. 1H [anterior]); distal end of right, MNHNCu 75.4605 (fig. 1F [anterior]). Cited material and figures are from Suárez & Olson (2003a), other than where indicated.</p><p><i>Distribution</i>.—Asphalt deposits in west Cuba (see Appendix). <i>Matanzas</i>. Martí: <b>MLB</b> (Suárez & Olson 2003a, Suárez 2020a).</p><p><i>Direct 14 C dating</i>.—None in Cuba. For dating of other bird species at MLB, see <i>Antigone cubensis</i>, <i>Gymnogyps varonai</i> and <i>Ornimegalonyx oteroi</i>, and of associated extinct mammals (<i>Parocnus browni</i> = 11,880 ± 420 to 4,960 ± 280 years 14 C BP), see Jull <i>et al</i>. (2004) and Steadman <i>et al</i>. (2005).</p><p><i>Notes</i>.—Very rare. <i>M. wetmorei</i> occurred sympatrically with <i>M</i>. <i>americana</i> Linnaeus, 1758, only in Cuba (<i>contra</i> Kirkconnell <i>et al</i>. 2020: 69) in the tar seep deposits (Suárez & Olson 2003a). Previous records of Wood Stork in fossil localities of North America, including Florida (see Emslie 1998), represent misidentifications, including of <i>M</i>. <i>wetmorei</i> (Olson 1991, Suárez & Olson 2003a).</p>
