Where: Lipscomb County, Texas (36.2° N, 100.3° W: paleocoordinates 36.2° N, 100.3° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Holocene (0.0 - 0.0 Ma)

• "the remains, although very near the present surface of the ground, were well fossilized and had at one time been deeply buried... the depth of the deposit varied from seven to fifteen inches... The artifacts compare favorably with those of the Folsom complex" (i.e., are early Holocene)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported

Size class: macrofossils

• "a number of articulated skeletons [were] in the quarry and the bones lay close together" although "at the north end of the quarry the fossils were badly broken and scattered... The skeletons [to the south] were headed chiefly in an easterly or southerly direction and overlapped one another, considerably... Twenty-two artifacts and a number of flint chips, all in situ, were found scattered throughout the quarry... Charcoal and ashes [indicating fires] were associated with the bones... many of [the bones] had been split and cut by the ancient hunters"
