• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

• Note: Wellman (1970): The Honda Group correlates with the Real Group-in the Middle Magdalena Valley. Both groups conformably overlie the La Cira fossil zone locally; however, the Lluvia Formation of the Real Group has a basal conglomerate uncon- formable on the Colorado Formation (La Cira Formation equivalent) at Rio Opdn, Wheeler's (1935) type section for the group.
