Taxonomic list
• list of Harris 1993 appears to be a composite of several NMMNH localities based on data of Lucas et al.
pumice clasts from this level and above apparently are the "abundant reworked Guaje Pumice" that is "1.61 Ma (unpubl. 40Ar/39Ar date: W. McIntosh and S. Cather, pers. comm. 1992)"
