Taxonomic list
• type area of Aycross Fm. (see Love 1939)
this appears to be the Duncan Ranch L.F. sensu stricto (see Bown); hence, I assume the date applies only to this list
KA date of 49.2 (=50.3: see Krishtalka et al. 1987) +/- 0.5 Ma for "Aycross rocks exposed at Duncan Ranch" (Bown p. A19); "Low in type section... near Bridgerian mammals" (Krishtalka et al. 1987 p. 92)
late Bridgerian (Bridger C?)
