Cuba is located in an area with several active fault systems which produce on average about 2,000 seismic events each year. [5] While most registered seismic events pass unnoticed, the island has been struck by a number of destructive earthquakes over the past four centuries, including several major quakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or above.

The Lagunitas Formation is a geologic formation in Cuba. The open marine, fluvio-deltaic and lagoonal claystones, limestones and conglomerates preserve fossils dating back to the Early Miocene period. [1] Among others, the fossil primate Paralouatta marianae, the largest primate of the Miocene New World, was found in the formation. [2]
