Where: Socorro County, New Mexico (34.3° N, 106.9° W: paleocoordinates 9.5° N, 46.0° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: San Pedro Arroyo Formation (Chinle Group), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)
• Suggested to be late Carnian, Adamanian LVF, but the Pedro Arroyo is correlated with the Bluewater Creek member of the Chinle Formation, suggesting that it is Norian in age.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: "channel"; sandstone and conglomerate
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the NMMNH
