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(2013), and is potentially correlated with the Santa Rosa Sandstone of the basal Dockum according to Martz (2008: unpublished PhD thesis, Texas Tech University).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
