| Locality B-6511 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | Ledges outcropping a few feet above D-1059. From faunizone B (zone 3) (for that reason assigned an middle Miocene age). | "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic" | 15.97 - 11.608 Ma Miocene |
| Locality D-1059 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | From lowermost two of four Turritella beds, a few feet above D-1058. From faunizone B (zone 3) (for that reason assigned an middle Miocene age). | "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic" | 15.97 - 11.608 Ma Miocene |
| Locality D-1061 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | From two sandstone ledges. Total intreval not more than 10 ft thick. From faunizone B (zone 3) (for that reason assigned an middle Miocene age). | sandstone | 15.97 - 11.608 Ma Miocene |
| Locality D-1054 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | From base of 20 ft thick massive, brown, fine-grained silty sandstone. Fossils occur in 2-3 inch layters and in some concretions. Lateral extent of collection is over 90 ft. From faunizone A (for that reason assigned an early Miocene age). | sandstone | 23.03 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
| Locality D-1055 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | From top of same massive silty sandstone bed as D-1054, about 20 ft stratigraphically above D-1054. From faunizone A (for that reason assigned an early Miocene age). | sandstone | 23.03 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
| Locality D-1056 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | Locality is approx. 20 ft below the lower oyster bed of locality D-1057. From faunizone A (zone 2) (for that reason assigned an early Miocene age). | sandstone | 23.03 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
| Locality D-1057 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | Collection made from two prominent oyster beds and from coarse sandstone bed below the lower oyster bed. upper fossil bed is about 15 ft below the base of massive reef beds of locality D-1058. Locality is approx. 20 ft above locality D-1056. From faunizone A (zone 2) (for that reason assigned an early Miocene age). | "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic" | 23.03 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
| Locality D-1058 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | From sandstone, about 20 ft thick. From faunizone A (zone 2) (for that reason assigned an early Miocene age). | sandstone | 23.03 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
| Locality D-1064 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | Bed overlies the sandstones of basal Temblor Formation. Total extent of exposure is over 600 ft and the fossiliferous interval is over 7 feet thick. From faunizone A (for that reason assigned an early Miocene age). | sandstone | 23.03 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
