Also known as Indian Creek
Where: Utah (37.9° N, 110.4° W: paleocoordinates 7.4° N, 36.7° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: Torrey Member (Moenkopi Formation), Smithian (251.3 - 247.2 Ma)
• "In SE Utah, the Torrey Member immediately overlies the Sinbad Limestone, a marine unit that yields Smithian ammonoids...The Virgin Limestone, of early Spathian age, may correlate to the uppermost part of the Torrey Member. Therefore we regard the Torrey as primarily of Smithian age" (Lucas & Schoch 2002: Lethaia 35: 97–106)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the UCMP
