| Parunuweap Canyon tracksite [Navajo SS] | Santucci V. L., Hunt A. P., et al (2006) | Glen Canyon - Navajo Sandstone | Navajo Sandstone forms uppermost part of Glen Canyon Group, and is Early Jurassic, but probably not older than Pliensbachian (Irmis 2005. A review of the vertebrate fauna of the Lower Jurassic Navajo Sandstone in Arizona. Mesa Southwest Museum Bulletin 11:55–71) | sandstone | 190.8 - 174.1 Ma Jurassic |
| Parunuweap Canyon tracksite [Whitmore Point Mbr] | DeBlieux D. B., Kirkland J. I., et al (2006) | Glen Canyon - Moenave - Whitmore Point | Most of the Moenave Formation is the Dinosaur Canyon Member. In the Moenave type section, near Tuba City, Arizona, all of the Moenave section is Dinosaur Canyon Member, as it is throughout the Moenave outcrop belt along the Echo Cliffs and Ward's Terrace of northern Arizona. However, north of the Grand Canyon in Arizona and in southwestern Utah, the upper part of the Moenave Formation is lacustrine strata. These strata are the Whitmore Point Member. Lucas et al.
