Collection methods and comments

Reason for describing collection:

biostratigraphic analysis

Taxonomic list comments:includes some parts of "Uinta C" list of Kay 1957
at top of Prothero's Wagonhound Canyon section in eastern Uintah County
between White River Pocket and Myton Pocket based on Peterson 1928a, who places it at the base of Uinta C
magnetic polarity stratigraphy of Prothero 1996a suggests that Kennedy's Hole and Myton Pocket are at a very similar level, but that an exact ordering is impossible
