Collection methods and comments
| Taxonomic list comments:mentioned as being Sangamonian sensu stricto by Kurten and Anderson 1980, but this is apparently based on a personal communication as it is included in the Moore Pit fauna sensu lato by Slaughter et al. 1962 and apparently Slaughter 1966; supposedly in the Lower Shuler (middle of the T-2 sequence) but this is based only on elevation and faunal composition |
