Village of Milo (Carboniferous of the United States)

Where: Carter County, Oklahoma (34.4° N, 97.3° W: paleocoordinates 11.2° S, 38.1° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Redoak Hollow Formation, Serpukhovian (330.9 - 323.2 Ma)

• Latest Chesterian. JA: late Chesterian is Serpukhovian according to Mii et al. 1999 (GSA Bull 111:960-973)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; poorly lithified, ferruginous sandstone

• Very occasional "original shell material." One chitonous valve of Lingula, some calcareous valves of brachs and pelecypods, and a few isolated crinoid columnals.
• sandstone. in one instance, locality 3, it is refered to as soft ferruginous sandstone. also is mentioned that some molds are limonitic.

Preservation: original calcite
