Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:general faunal/floral analysis
Taxonomic list comments:apparently this is just east of the Clover Creek locality in the Glenns Ferry Fm. of Elmore Co.
this part of the Snake River Plain was not investigated by Perkins et al. 1998
Evernden et al. 1964: sample KA 830 dated at 10.0 (= 10.27) Ma on an "associated" volcanic ash; this is dismissed by Repenning 1987 on biochronological grounds, and another sample from a nearby Mount Bennet Hills "Banbury" ash was dated at 13.5 (= 13.86) +/- 1.5 Ma by Armstrong et al. 1975, who considered both of these dates unreliable
originally said to be from "a diatomite" in the middle part of the "Banbury Basalt" but this is not only different from the type Banbury but has nothing to do with the "Banbury Basalt" between the Poison Creek and Chalk Hills; Fms.: Armstrong et al. 1975
placed here at an arbitrary low level in the Hagerman section
