Where: Arizona (35.1° N, 109.8° W: paleocoordinates 10.7° N, 48.3° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
When: Adamanian other zone, Sonsela Member (Chinle Formation), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)
• the quarry lies near the base of the Jim Camp Wash Beds (Sonsela Member, Chinle Formation) but its position relative to the "persistent red silcrete" approximating the Adamanian-Revueltian boundary has been difficult to establish. The vertebrate assemblage suggests that the site may be in the Adamanian land vertebrate holochronozone
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; mudstone
Size class: macrofossils
