Where: Navajo County, Arizona (34.9° N, 110.3° W: paleocoordinates 3.3° N, 38.9° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Holbrook Member (Moenkopi Formation), Aegean to Aegean (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)
• probably from the lower Holbrook Member; Lucas & Schoch (2002: Lethaia 35: 97-106) inferred the Holbrook member to be earliest Anisian (Aegean–Bithynian) in age based upon tetrapod biostratigraphy (Eocyclotosaurus used to correlate Holbrook Member to German Upper Bundsandstein) and magnetostratigraphy
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: cast, trace
