Also known as Bulverde Cave, Friesenhan, TMM 30733
Where: Bexar County, Texas (29.0° N, 98.5° W: paleocoordinates 29.0° N, 98.5° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• "More than 90 percent of all the fossil material found in place came from... Zone 3 where it was the most abundant element of the fauna... Fossil material... was also abundant in Zone 4, the channel fill. This material, however, was largely or entirely reworked from the underlying Zones 2 and 3, and was generally in broken condition... the deposit should be referred to one or more stages of the Wisconsin in the late Pleistocene"
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
