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

Parnell Creek (Wilkins Peak) Great Divide Basin Ypresian
zwischen 46.2 und 50.3 Millionen Jahren
Green River
Kommentar z. Taxonomie
sec 24 T 25N R 102 W
the "Tipton Tongue" collection of McGrew and Roehler 1960 reported by Grande is the same as the "Parnell Creek locality" of Roehler 1991a; however, "Hyracotherium sp." from this "locality" is from a lower level than the specimens from the Farson Sandstone Mbr. of Roehler, which seems to equal the "Wilkins Peak" collection; I assume that the latter is really from the Farson Sandstone
Mauger 1977 gives two "Class 1" reliability K-Ar dates for Tuff 3 of this member at separate localities; although they are mutually compatible, the member is quite thick (Roehler 1992) and the faunal locality is quite distant from either of the dated localities

Powder Wash (Upper) 2 mi SE of Powder Springs Ypresian
zwischen 46.2 und 50.3 Millionen Jahren
Green River Powder Springs
Lithographie Kommentar z. Taxonomie
"a uniformly muddy, fine-grained sublitharenite" (Gunnell and Bartels 1999) sec 8 T 7S R 25E: Van Houten 1945
same as the "Green River" fauna of Burke 1935 and Kay 1957
according to Remy 1992 there is an Ar-Ar date of 47.2 Ma on the "curly tuff... between the S1 marker unit and the Magohany oil shale bed" (S1 unit is lower); because the fauna is from "82 m below" the shale and the date is interpreted by Remy as Uintan, I assume it is too young for use as a calibration point
"Class 1" reliability K-Ar date of 44.8 (= 46.0) +/- 0.9 Ma (Mauger 1977) for the Wavy Tuff is definitely too young for use as the tuff is 20 ft above the Mahogany Oil Shale; Wavy Tuff redated at 42.3 +/- 2.0 (FT on zircon) by Bryant et al. 1989
original list repeated almost without modification by Gunnell and Bartels 1999
Black and Sutton list the following: Thisbemys corrugatus "Leptotomus bridgerensis"
falls in the Parachute Creek Mbr. sensu Roehloer 1992
early Bridgerian

Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Lithographie Kommentar z. Taxonomie
all fossils are from a single quarry within a member "tuffaceous mudstone, sandstone, and siliceous limestone" (Nelson 1973) or "tuffaceous mudstone and sandstone" (Nelson 1974, 1977) close to the Utah state line and well west of the Green River Basin date of 47.9 (49.1 corrected) +/- 1.9 Ma (K-Ar on biotite) on a sample immediately above the quarry; date of 47.7 Ma reported earlier is from a site 48 km to the north
