• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Tehuacana Limestone Member (Kincaid Formation), Danian (66.0 - 61.6 Ma)
• Station 8 of Alexander (1934) includes two collections. The one recorded here ("8a") is upper Kincaid (Tehuacana Limestone Mbr) below the Vernericardia bulla bed; "8b" is basal Wills Point Fm. and is entered as a separate collection.
