Taxonomic list
• from a channel deposit cutting into the McPherson Fm.
originally described by Hibbard 1952
thought by both Hibbard and Semken to be a mixture of two distinct Pleistocene faunas, but this was rejected by Zakrzewski 1975; Kurten and Anderson 1980 appear to be unaware of the latter's argument
"includes a number of misidentifed taxa": Martin 1975
