Also known as Carol Site, State of Utah Loc. 42EM366V

Where: Emery County, Utah (39.2° N, 110.9° W: paleocoordinates 39.5° N, 64.8° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Ruby Ranch Member (Cedar Mountain Formation), Aptian to Aptian (125.0 - 100.5 Ma)

• Overall, based on zircon ages and chemostratigraphic studies, the Ruby Ranch Member ranges in age from approximately middle Aptian to middle Albian (about 118 to 105 Ma) for the western Paradox Basin and northern San Rafael Swell. Other radiometric ages indicate the presence of upper Albian strata as well (Chure and others, 2010; Ludvigson and others, 2010a, 2015; Sprinkel and others, 2012)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; mudstone and sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by C. Jones & R. Jones in 1994

Collection methods: quarrying, mechanical,

• The ankylosaur was discovered entirely with subsurface remote sensing techniques.
