| Ferguson Hill section, Units 103-104, New York Canyon area | Lucas S. G., Taylor D. G., et al (2007) | Gabbs - Muller Canyon | upper part of Muller Canyon member; units 103-104 (total thickness: 17cm).

Spelae zone predates European Planorbis zone sensu stricto, but Planorbis is used as an equivalent to Early Hettangian here. | "limestone" | 201.3 - 196.5 Ma Early Jurassic |
| Ferguson Hill, section e, bed 28 | Taylor D. G., Guex J. (2002) | Gabbs - Muller Canyon | The Spelae zone precedes the true Planorbis zone, but "Planorbis" is used in the sense of Early Hettangian here. | "limestone" | 201.3 - 196.5 Ma Early Jurassic |
