4 km NE Camp Springs (Triassic to of the United States)

Where: Scurry County, Texas (32.8° N, 100.7° W: paleocoordinates 5.5° N, 39.5° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Camp Springs Formation (Dockum Group), Carnian to Carnian (237.0 - 208.5 Ma)

• Originally referred to as the Camp Springs Conglomerate by Langston (1949), the "pre-Tecovas horizon" by Long & Murry (1995), and the "Camp Springs Formation" by Stocker (2013), and is potentially correlated with the Santa Rosa Sandstone of the basal Dockum according to Martz (2008: unpublished PhD thesis, Texas Tech University). The Santa Rosa Sandstone can be constrained to be older than the hypothesised age range of 220–215 Ma for the Post Quarry (Stocker 2013).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; fine-grained, white, calcareous sandstone
