Daten zu den einzelnen Funden von Shoshonius cooperi
Sammlung Kommentar zum Fundort Epoche, Alter Geologie, Formation
Big Sand Draw/Carter Draw just S of Wind River Indian Reservation Ypresian
zwischen 50.3 und 55.8 Millionen Jahren
Wind River
Kommentar z. Taxonomie
includes Thirty-one Cent Q., Pot Luck Q., Bunny Foot Q., and Halfway Draw Q.
date of 49.2 (= 50.5) Ma on Halfway Draw Tuff (Evernden et al. 1964: KA 1012) is 2 mi. WSW of Bunny Foot Q.; however, Mauger 1977 argues that the sample is degraded and the date is probably too young

Buck Spring Dark Red Stratum Wind River Basin Ypresian
zwischen 50.3 und 55.8 Millionen Jahren
Wind River Guthrie Locality 3; UCM loc. 81029
Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Kommentar z. Taxonomie
said to be Lostcabinian SW 1/4 sec 15 T38N R89W; because county line is half-way through R89W, this is in Natrona County and not Fremont County
"A" horizon of Stucky et al. 1990
"Palaeosyops" borealis and Hyrachyus cf. eximius in Table 4 of Stucky 1984 are from "upper horizons" at Buck Spring, possibly UCM locs. 81030, 031, 032, or 033; note that none of these localities includes more than one reported mammal species

Buck Spring Quarries Wind River Basin Ypresian
zwischen 50.3 und 55.8 Millionen Jahren
Wind River CM loc. 1040; K-6; B-2 horizon
Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Kommentar z. Taxonomie
B-2 Horizon
said to be Lostcabinian
shown as SW of K-5 on large map but SE of K-6; the latter therefore puts it across the county line in Natrona County
cannot be correlated with standard Buck Spring section (K-5 area), apart from occurrence of DR Stratum
not the same as either CM loc. 1039 (K-5 area) or Guthrie's Locality 3 (UCM loc. 81029, "Dark Red Stratum")

Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Lithographie Museum Kommentar z. Taxonomie
said to be Gardnerbuttean mostly from the "dark red stratum," but apparently at a much higher level than the "dark red stratum" at Buck Spring UCM 81023/MS9-U3 is from immediately below UCM 79042/MS9-U6, which are in the dark red stratum (Stucky and Hardy 2007) lower fossil horizon is a "gray mudstone, 2.1 m thick" and is "below the main fossil-bearing red mudstone layer" CM,UCM 5 mi NW of Arminto," but NOT the same as the Arminto L.F. (see) "Ectypodus sp." at CM 34 Pilgrim Creek: Krishtalka et al. 1982; according to Stucky (pers. comm.) this is not Davis Ranch
