  We create entangled states of the spin and motion of a single $^{40}$Ca$^+$
ion in a linear ion trap. The motional part consists of coherent states of
large separation and long coherence time. The states are created by driving the
motion using counterpropagating laser beams. We theoretically study and
experimentally observe the behaviour outside the Lamb-Dicke regime, where the
trajectory in phase space is modified and the coherent states become squeezed.
We directly observe the modification of the return time of the trajectory, and
infer the squeezing. The mesoscopic entanglement is observed up to $\Delta
\alpha = 5.1$ with coherence time 170 microseconds and mean phonon excitation
$\nbar = 16$.
