Details for Faunal Zone 1 of Romer 1928: "These beds [estimated thickness of 350 feet] occupy the middle portion of the Wichita as Cummins conceived of it; but they are now seen to occupy the lower part of this group. This zone is approximately equivalent to the Admiral Formation of Plummer and Moore (1921), although no definite correlation can be made at present."
