Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Moenkopi | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: upper Moenkopi, about 18 m below contact with overlying Shinarump. Lucas & Schoch (2002: Lethaia 35: 97-106) inferred the Holbrook member to be earliest Anisian (Aegean–Bithynian) in age based upon tetrapod biostratigraphy (Eocyclotosaurus used to correlate Holbrook Member to German Upper Bundsandstein) and magnetostratigraphy | |||||
