Also known as Ely Springs Range
Where: Lincoln County, Nevada (38.0° N, 114.5° W: paleocoordinates 7.0° S, 83.4° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Pogonip Group, Cassinian (482.3 - 470.0 Ma)
• "originally regarded as 'lower Chayzian, above the Receptaculites horizon'; the writer considered the horizon as possibly late Canadian on the basis of the cephalopods. It seems not impossible, that a considerable stratigraphic interval was included in this collection." (p. 145)
•"A Receptaculites horizon is noted in the Whiterock, but there are several lower horizons of sponges to which this generic name has been applied." (p. 118)
•In the caption of plate 23 figs. 12-13 it says: " [...] Pogonip Group [...]. The association is believed to be Cassinian rather than Whiterock."
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
