| Kinney Brick Quarry macroflora | Mamay S. H., Mapes G. (1992) | Madera - Wild Cow - Pine Shadow | Exposure lies in a Pennsylvanian sequence previously known as the Madera Limestone: nomenclature has been revised by Myers. Classification of Myers combines the Madera Limestone and the Burnsum Fm into the Madera Group and divides the group into three formations, the middle of which is the Wild Cow Fm and contains fossils discussed here. | "shale" | 303.4 - 298.9 Ma Carboniferous |
| Kinney Quarry bivalve-lingula faunal assemblage | Kues B. S. (1992) | Madera - Wild Cow - Pine Shadow | The section of the quarry is part of the Pine Shadow Member of the Wild Cow Formation, Madera Group. The entire member has an average thickness of 70m in the Manzanita/Manzano Mountains, and has been reliably dated a s early to middle Virgilian on the basis of fusulinids described from localities elsewhere in these mountains. The dark limestone containing the marine fauna discussed here forms the floor of the quarry and is the basal unit (unit 1) of the stratigraphic section exposed in the quarr | "limestone" | 307 - 303.7 Ma Carboniferous |
