Also known as Llano Uplift

Where: Gillespie County, Texas (30.5° N, 99.1° W: paleocoordinates 17.7° S, 95.8° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: San Saba Limestone Member (Wilberns Formation), Trempealeauan (492.5 - 485.4 Ma)

• Some of the specimens are said to come "from the cephalopod bed, now closer to 30 feet than 67 feet, the previous estimate, below the top of the San Saba limestone" (p. 31) but other specimens no exact stratigrapic position is given for. "Trempealeauan San Saba limestone" (e.g.,caption of plate 4). The San Saba Limestone belongs to the Wilberns Fm. (e.g. Bridge et al., 1947, Bull. GSA 58).
