Where: Washington County, Utah (37.2° N, 113.4° W: paleocoordinates 6.4° N, 40.1° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Torrey Member (Moenkopi Formation), Aegean to Aegean (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)
• Upper red member is equivalent to the Holbrook Member of Arizona.
•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
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: trace
