Spring Creek 1 | Czaplewski N. J. (2008) | Ogallala | "According to Lambert and Shoshani (1998), the genus Serbelodon in North America is known from a broad temporal range, from the late Barstovian to early Hemphillian." "Many of the localities yielding vertebrate fossils in west-central Oklahoma occur along the outcrop margin of the Ogallala Formation, where there seems to be extensive reworking of the Ogallala sediments. This and the paucity of age-diagnostic taxa make it difficult to assign most of the Roger Mills County localities to a l | not reported | 15.97 - 4.9 Ma Neogene |
