Where: Major County, Oklahoma (36.3° N, 98.5° W: paleocoordinates 5.5° N, 26.7° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Flowerpot Formation (El Reno Group), Capitanian (265.1 - 259.9 Ma)

• Red shales and silts are the predominant lithologies, but red sasds, greenisch shales and silts, and, toward the top of the formation, dark-bluish and black shales, dolomites, gypsums, and gypsum stringers are not uncommon.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; black, silty shale
