Taxonomic list
• this is clearly the same as the "Sheep Creek beds in Aphelops Draw" locality of Skinner et al. 1977 based on catalogue numbers and collection of material by Paul Miller in 1925
"Merychyus cf. elegans" of Schultz and Falkenbach 1947 is from the "massive pinkish sands" that "might well represent upper Marsland deposits" and presumably equals the Harrison Fm. sensu Skinner et al.
