Wasatch Zonule 2; Black Buttes
Kommentar z. Taxonomie
Arapahovius Paleofaunule includes a locality at the top of the Bitter Creek local section (Turtle Graveyard); however, this is 233.9' above Zonule 2, and Gazin's material was said to be from the "lowest part of the Eocene sequence"; Zonule 2 list of Savage et al. 1972 therefore is incorporated into Gazin's list

White Butte/Turtle Valley S of South Heart; Jepsen's Turtle Valley site is in SW 1/4 sec 16 and W 1/2 sec 21 T 138 N R 98 W and his original White Butte locality is about 7 mi ENE in SW 1/4 sec 29 and NW 1/4 sec 32 T 139 N R 97 W; West's new material is from a "roadcut about 400 yards east" of Jepsen's locality Ypresian

Golden Valley
Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Lithographie
"Most of the fossil vertebrates... have been found... 2-5 inches below very distinctive, highly indurated and brittle layer of chert"; most plants are from "about 4 feet above" the layer in "a zone of tan claystone" "light-pink and gray clays"

Wasatch UCMP V71238; Palatobaena gaffneyi type locality
Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Lithographie Museum
Main body of Wasatch Formation The Upper Meniscotherium locality corresponds to the basal lag deposit in a sandstone unit with clay-pebble lenses and unionid clams that immediately overlies and cuts into the mudstone of V71237 (UCMP locality records; also see Williamson 2001). Strait et al. 2016: "massive, moderately-indurated sandstone unit that immediately overlies the mudstone of V71237. In V71238 fossils are found as lag in apprximately 10 cm at the base of this sandstone unit and appear to represent a direct reworking of the underlying mudstone unit." UCM,UCMP
