• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Waggoner Ranch Formation (Wichita Group), Artinskian to Artinskian (290.1 - 272.3 Ma)
• "65 feet above the Beaverburk" Limestone. Details for Faunal Zone 3 of Romer 1928: "approximately 230 feet in thickness...The total thickness of the Wichita group, as thus defined is, in this region, approximately 780 feet."
