Also known as UCMP V4126, V4127
Where: Coconino County, Arizona (35.1° N, 110.9° W: paleocoordinates 5.1° N, 38.4° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution

• About 21 m above underlying Kaibab limestone
•Lucas & Schoch (2002: Lethaia 35, 97-106) inferred the Wupatki Member to be Spathian in age based upon lithostratigraphic correlation.
