Also known as OMNH V1198

Where: Roger Mills County, Oklahoma (35.8° N, 99.7° W: paleocoordinates 36.1° N, 98.0° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: Ogallala Formation, Clarendonian to Clarendonian (12.5 - 2.6 Ma)

• "These investigators noted a locally complex set of basal Ogallala Formation fluvial and eolian depos- its with extensive Pleistocene and Holocene reworking by multiple can- yon cut-and-fill cycles, all atop the Permian Doxey Shale (J. P. Thurmond, in litt.). The Miocene vertebrate bones had been redeposited in a Pleis- tocene or Holocene bed."

•

•"Many of the localities yielding vertebrate fossils in west-central Oklahoma occur along the outcrop margin of the Ogallala Formation, where there seems to be extensive reworking of the Ogallala sediments. This and the paucity of age-diagnostic taxa make it difficult to assign most of the Roger Mills County localities to a land mammal age."
