Taxonomic list
• two localities; referred to as "Panaca" by Kelly 1994, Repenning 1987, and Macdonald and Pelletier 1958, and as "Spring Valley" or "Golgotha Hill" by Reynolds and Lindsay 1999
I assume that Breyer's record from GWP Quarry is from the same deposits as Stirton's "Panaca" list
originally described by Stirton 1940, who mentioned only "Pliohippus," a rhino, and a camelid
said by Breyer to be late Hemphillian
