Where: Blaine County, Oklahoma (36.0° N, 98.4° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 8.0° N, 24.9° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Chickasha Formation (El Reno Group), Roadian to Roadian (274.4 - 264.3 Ma)

• "All the deposits are in that part of the Chickasha Formation delineated by Fay (1962) as the Chickasha Tongue within the Flowerpot Formation. The tongue contains four mapped beds, numbered consecutively from 1 (lowest) to 4 (highest)." A measured section consisting of 6 beds is given for BC-8.
