Stratigraphy
| Formation: | D Clay | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The age of the "D Clay" has yet to be established, although it is certainly late Pleistocene in age and probably in the order of 25,000-40,000 yr B.P. (J. M. pers. comm.). The material described here as the Dry Creek Local Fauna was col- lected from the "D Clay". |
