close to the top of a normal magnetic polarity zone interpreted as C28n, but there is no tie point in the section: see Lucas et al. 1997 firmly correlated with Wagonroad Upper Horizon, which was included in the list of Tomida and Butler 1980; paleomagnetic data strongly support a correlation between the two horizons
descriptions of Robison 1986 do not incorporate the collections reported by Tomida and Butler and Tomida 1982
"Oxyclaenus pearcei" is not discussed by Robison 1986 and I assume it is only present at Wagonroad Upper Horizon

Haploconus "inopinatus" is not discussed by Robison 1986 and I assume it is only present at Wagonroad Upper Horizon

three UALP localities are separated stratigraphically by five meters: Tomida 1981 near the top of the local section in a normal paleomag interval that is is probably chron 27n but could be chron 28n called "Upper Kimbetoh" by Tomida 1981
identical to list 12 of Williamson 1996

said by Buckley 1993 to be in the same (unidentified) reversed polarity chron as Silberling Quarry, i.e., possibly C27r many of the types were described by Simpson 1935d
Simpson 1935d lists the type of "Chriacus pusillus" from "Gidley or Silberling Quarries" - no other specimens are listed but the type's catalogue number is close to that of other types from Gidley Quarry; however, this record is omitted by Simpson 1937a and later authors

in a stratigraphically isolated reversed polarity zone interpreted as chron 27r: Butler et al. 1987 >I have used Van Valen's 1978 list of condylarths because Rose gives no reason for ignoring it
meter level follows Butler et al. 1981
above two records presumably include "Tricentes cf. punitor" and "cf. Chriacus sp."

reassigned from the Porcupine Hills Formation to the Paskapoo Formation by Fox (2011) fossils are from "within an interval ranging from a few centimeters to a meter or so in thickness" (Fox 2011) "poorly bedded grayishgreen siltstones, rich in broken bivalve and gastropod shells that are accompanied by bits of coalified wood and occasional wellrounded pebbles" (Fox 2011) same as the list given by Fox 1990a

this is NOT West Side of Shotgun Butte (see), which is the uppermost of three fossiliferous horizons; the fauna of the lowest horizon is not discussed by Gunnell apart from the plesiadapiforms, Gunnell's list is mostly repeated from ancient sources without modification Gunnell lists Eudaemonema cuspidata from "Shotgun fauna, Keefer Hill" but omits this from his faunal list

believed to be Puercan or Torrejonian by McKenna et al., but "definitely Tiffanian" according to McKenna and Lofgren 2003 from "near the base of information member 4b (formerly Tgsu)" Lofgren et al. 2014: The mammalian fauna from member 4a and the lower part of member 4b is collectively referred to as the Goler Assemblage. the Goler Assemblage is probably middle Tiffanian (Ti3–Ti4a), although a Ti5a age is also possible. formation is "non-marine and then marine" going up section, and consists of "Almost 4 km of conglomerates, feldspathic sandstones, and drab or variegated mudstones" UCMP material of Lofgren et al. 1999 is from "Laudate" but these authors do include Black Mountain in the fauna
