Also known as Locality 9a

Where: Orange County, California (33.8° N, 117.7° W: paleocoordinates 35.8° N, 82.7° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Holz Shale Member (Ladd Formation), Turonian to Turonian (93.9 - 83.6 Ma)

• from "about 1 m of strata"

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: interdistributary bay; lithified siltstone and lithified shale

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: bulk, surface (in situ),

• "Bulk samples were collected... and brought back to the lab for disarticulation" but there was also "selective collecting, by breaking the strata at the site"

•collections apparently are at the California State University at Fullerton
