Where: Sioux County, Nebraska (42.8° N, 103.6° W: paleocoordinates 44.1° N, 95.2° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution

• at the contact between exposures of the middle Chadronian, Peanut Peak Member of the Chadron Formation, and the undifferentiated Holocene-Pleistocene deposits; reported as middle Chadronian, but may include Orellan elements; the presence of Orellan-age taxa indicates a broader temporal sample in the Sand Creek anthills
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
