Stratigraphy comments: "We believe the vertebrates have been collected from a zone 10 feet or so below the Shoal Creek Member of the Bond Formation" (DeMar, 1970)
Note: Shoal Creek Member is equivalent to Carthage Limestone Member, a name now used throughout the Illinois Basin for that lithological unit; see Jacobson (2002) A summary of references with changes in Pennsylvanian stratigraphic nomenclature at the ISGS since Bulletin 95.
