300 yards east of U. S. Highway 77, 2 miles north of Springer (Silurian of the United States)

Where: Oklahoma (34.3° N, 97.1° W: paleocoordinates 21.9° S, 66.7° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

When: Cochrane Formation, Alexandrian (443.4 - 436.0 Ma)

• Above the glauconite beds. Note: Given as the Chimney Hill formation, but that is confined to Kansas (far north of these localities) and Macrostrat gives the Chimney Hill (= Chimneyhill) an age immediately younger than Alexandrian (which is poorly defined, anyway.) So, this should be Cochrane.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the USNM
