| Taxonomic list comments:Simpson (1979; Oklahoma Geol. Notes 39(1)) in his table 1 (p. 7) lists the ‘pelycosaur’ Basicranodon fortsilensis (sic) as the only known taxon from South Carnegie but in the text (p. 5) also mentions “a large number of specimens of Captorhinus aguti” from this site. LeBlanc et al. (2015) mention synapsids to be present but do not give a specific subtaxon. They, however, explicitly mention “the anamniote Doleserpeton” with regard to the similarity of the faunal composition of the Bally Mountain and Richards Spur localities. Since Doleserpeton is very abundant at Richards Spur and Olson (1967) says that the (then unnamed) amphibian taxa from South Carnegie and Richards Spur are the same, the ‘Olson-based.’ taxon ‘Amphibia indet.’ is re-identified as ‘Doleserpeton sp.’. | |
