| Blue Hills 1, UCMP V7307, V7308 | Camp C. L. (1930) | Chinle - Blue Mesa | Two closely adjacent localities. All Blue Hills localities are in the uppermost Mesa Redondo (= Bluewater Creek) or lowermost Blue Mesa members, principally the latter. Assigned to the Adamanian LVF | not reported | 228 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
| Blue Hills 2, UCMP 7309 | Long R. A., Murry P. A. (1995) | Chinle - Blue Mesa | not reported | 228 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic | |
| Blue Hills 3, UCMP 7310 | Long R. A., Murry P. A. (1995) | Chinle - Blue Mesa | not reported | 228 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic | |
| MNA V8415, Blue Hills | Zanno L. E., Heckert A. B., et al (2002) | Chinle - Blue Mesa | Given as low in the Blue Member of the Petrified Forest Formation = Blue Mesa Member of the Chinle Formation. Adamanian LVF, suggested to be late Carnian, but recent radiometric dates indicate a Norian age for the Chinle | mudstone | 228 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
| NMMNH 3763, Blue Hills | Irmis R. B. (2005) | Chinle - Blue Mesa | Occurs approximately 8 m above the base of the Blue Mesa Member and 9 m below the Sonsela Member | sandstone | 228 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
