Also known as Pease River

Where: Hardeman County, Texas (34.1° N, 99.7° W: paleocoordinates 2.9° N, 28.9° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Flowerpot Shale Member (San Angelo Formation), Kungurian to Kungurian (279.3 - 268.8 Ma)

• "15 ft below top of section" (Olson & Beerbower, 1953)

•"Re-examination, after study of the Flower Pot-San Angelo relationship elsewhere, showed without question that Flower Pot assignment is correct. [...] The age of this is herewith corrected from the original San Angelo assignment to Flower Pot." (Olson, 1962)

•The terrestrial part of Olson's Flower Pot Formation is equivalent to the Flowerpot Member of the Upper San Angelo Formation (see Smith, 1974, University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology, Report of Investigations No. 80)

Environment/lithology: fluvial; silty, sandy claystone and conglomerate

Size class: macrofossils
