Locality B-6520 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | Collection from a 1 ft sandstone bed, overlain by further fossiliferous sandstone. From faunizone B (zone 4) (for that reason assigned an middle Miocene age). | sandstone | 15.97 - 11.608 Ma Miocene |
Locality D-1051 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | From very hard, weathering-resisting sandstone ledge of the upper Temblor Formation. This is the fourth ledge exposed below the McLure Shale contact on this small ledge. From faunizone B (zone 4) (for that reason assigned an middle Miocene age). | sandstone | 15.97 - 11.608 Ma Miocene |
Locality D-1052 - Reef Ridge (Temblor Formation) | Adegoke O.S. (1969) | Temblor | Sandstone ledge about 50 ft stratigraphically above D-1051. This the highest Temblor Formation ledge exposed on this ridge. From faunizone B (zone 4) (for that reason assigned an middle Miocene age). | sandstone | 15.97 - 11.608 Ma Miocene |
