Also known as OC.3

Where: Oktibbeha County, Mississippi (33.5° N, 88.8° W: paleocoordinates 36.7° N, 61.7° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Ripley Formation, Late/Upper Campanian to Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 66.0 Ma)

• The Ripley Formation contains a lower part that is Late Campanian and, following an unconformity, a late Early Maastrichtian (possibly early Late Maastrichtian) upper part. Given the geographic location, this site may be in the upper part of the Ripley Formation, but a broad age is assigned due to the uncertainty.
