Also known as Ward Terrace
Where: Coconino County, Arizona (35.7° N, 111.1° W: paleocoordinates 11.5° N, 49.3° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Owl Rock Member (Chinle Formation), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)
• Surrounds poorly defined Norian-Rhaetian boundary. Kent et al. 2019 state the boundary falls within magnetozone PF1r which corresponds to chron polarity E17 which is approximately 209.5Ma.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lacustrine; mudstone
Size class: mesofossils
