Also known as UCMP V3835

Where: Coconino County, Arizona (35.0° N, 111.0° W: paleocoordinates 5.2° N, 38.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Wupatki Member (Moenkopi Formation), Spathian (251.3 - 247.2 Ma)

• Three fossil vertebrate horizons occur at Meteor Crater - the middle of these is the main quarry. The lower horizon is the track horizon. 15 metres above lower contact with Kaibab Limestone.

•Lucas & Schoch (2002: Lethaia 35, 97-106) inferred the Wupatki Member to be Spathian in age based upon lithostratigraphic correlation

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
