Paleobathymetries of consecutively dated stratigraphic sections within the Limon belt, Costa Rica, and Bocas del Toro belt, Panama, are used to calculate rates of emergence for the Caribbean coast of southern Central America over the past 6 m.y. Estimates are presented of paleoenvironment, paleobathymetry, and rates of emergence for a series of sedimentary units precisely dated as 6.5 to 1.6 Ma. Paleodepths and paleoenvironments are interpreted primarily from preferred habitats of common benthic foraminifera, combined with lithofacies and neotectonics. -from Authors
