Sohl 001 (Cretaceous to of the United States)

Also known as Coon Creek type locality, former Dave weeks' place

Where: McNairy County, Tennessee (35.2° N, 88.6° W: paleocoordinates 38.3° N, 61.2° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Nostoceras hyatti ammonoid zone, Coon Creek Tongue Member (Ripley Formation), Late/Upper Campanian to Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 66.0 Ma)

• This collection was originally labeled Maastrichtian by Sohl; Cobban and Kennedy (1995) have updated it to uppermost Campanian via ammonite zonation.

•Ripley Formation is generally considered Maastrichtian age e.g. see Stringer et al. 2020 and Gifford et al. 2020

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithology not reported

Size class: mesofossils
