UCMP V3956, Penzance Station (Triassic to of the United States)

Where: Navajo County, Arizona (34.9° N, 110.2° W: paleocoordinates 3.3° N, 38.8° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Holbrook Member (Moenkopi Formation), Aegean to Aegean (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)

• "well above the gypsiferous middle zone of the Moenkopi" and approx. 40 m above contact with Coconino Fm.

•Lucas & Schoch (2002: Lethaia 35: 97-106) inferred the Holbrook member to be earliest Anisian (Aegean–Bithynian) in age based upon tetrapod biostratigraphy (Eocyclotosaurus used to correlate Holbrook Member to German Upper Bundsandstein) and magnetostratigraphy

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; mudstone

• "mudflat"

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: trace
